💥 Wednesday 10 December from 7.30pm we welcome Kirstie Kraus to Loafers for an intimate instore performance. Kirstie will also be performing at our celebration of The Traveling Wilburys on 12th & 13th December.Â

Since permanently relocating to Music City, Nashville, Tennessee, Kirstie, who was honored with the Artist of the Year - Country Music Female award at the Josie Music Award, which she accepted on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage, has toured across the US and internationally and has opened for some of country’s biggest stars including Thomas Rhett, Kip Moore, LANCO, Eric Paslay, Brandy Clark, Walker Hayes, Pam Tills, Brothers Osborne, and Randy Houser to name a few.Â
Â
In 2023 her breakout year for the UK arrived with her playing the coveted C2C Festival at the O2 Arena in London. Her fanbase in Britain has grown considerably and her name further rose up the ranks with her 2023 duet single ‘Who Am I Gonna Love’ with Thomas Kavanagh which rendered support from Apple Music, Absolute Radio, BBC Introducing, CountryLine Radio and many more radio and media outlets around the world.Â
Â
The following year, in 2024, she embarked on a 5 week UK tour and is now preparing for her third UK return in 2025.

The last two years growing success was built on a standout 2022, which saw Kraus releasing her debut album ‘Yes You Can’, supported with a six-month headline tour across America. The LP comprised 11 tracks including the hit singles ‘Bird’, ‘Thirsty’, and ‘Silver’. The project was a roaring success and earned Kraus multiple accolades such as 7x nominations from the Women of Country, and the Josie Music Awards.
