Philadelphia-based indie folk artist and guitarist Kristin Daelyn combines intricate fingerstyle guitar with poetic lyricism to create a world of nostalgia and introspection. Grounded in folk, her sound feels familiar but explorative, evoking quiet moments and a tender space for solace, presence, comfort and connection.

The Philadelphia songwriter released her second full-length album Beyond The Break with Chicago label Orindal Records. In these eight compositions, she takes influence from solo guitarists like Leo Kottke and John Fahey as well as writers like Mary Oliver, whose poem “Patience” inspired the single “Patience Comes to the Bones.” Through instrumental pieces that highlight her virtuosity as a player and elegant folk songs that showcase her gifts for tender pop melodies and emotionally incisive lyrics, Daelyn’s voice feels both urgent and timeless. Like a well-loved paperback passed between friends, her songs are open to reflection and personal annotation, designed to be of use.
