They refuse to allow themselves to be packaged oh so neat and tidy into a convenient category. Marketing people don't know what to do, clubs don't know who to bill them with for shows, and they simply don't fit in to radio station formats. Kristen Barry is that type of performer.

Lucky for us, she chose the guitar-based-rocker route. Her debut record, The Beginning. The Middle. The End, is one of those rare surprises that, on first listen, sounds familiar yet new.

My attitude is that it's nice to see talented people get a shot. So Virgin snaps up Kristen Barry, a 26 -year old with stories to tell, and says "Here, go tell your stories." Very clever.
