Kristin Sell
Kristin Sell first picked up the harmonica at age seven.
Fifteen years later, her brother David had a head injury from an accident that put him in the hospital for two years. Kristin picked up the harp again to play along with her brother’s favorites, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. It was in those hospital rooms that she developed her love and talent for music.
Kristin returned to New York City where she had been working to be an actress with a new passion for music. She would frequent the bluegrass jam night at The Bagot Inn in the West Village. There she honed her skill on the harp and began to pick on the guitar.
It was after her brother died, that Kristin began to write and sing her own songs. She left NYC and took her songs to Nashville.
She met Jim Hampton upon arrival and immediately began sitting in on his Broadway Shows. The two started writing songs together, from which evolved~ Hampton Sell. They spent time in Appalachia, while recording their CD with Rainbow Jimmy Productions, “What Do We Have To Lose,” and playing festivals, honkey tonks and opening for regional and national acts. Kristin continues to better translate her passion and soul into her songwriting, harp waillin’ and guitar/mandolin pickin’.
