If Texas Swing is king in Texas, Kristyn and Hailey are the queens. Award-winning headliners, when they team up, their energy is contagious!
Kristyn Harris ~ Burleson, Texas
This multi award-winning singer, songwriter and entertainer is known for her Western-Swing spin on original and classic songs of the Western and rural lifestyle. She is recognized for her powerful voice, swing rhythm guitar chops, songwriting, yodeling and energetic stage presence, as well as the passion and authenticity she puts into each performance. Kristyn tours across the U.S. and internationally and especially enjoys partnering up with Hailey Sandoz. When she’s not touring, Kristyn can be found with her “Diamond K” black angus cattle herd, training her newest colt or trick riding. She has been named IWMA Entertainer of the Year five times and is the youngest person to ever receive this award. In addition, she has been named IWMA Female Performer of the Year seven times, and her latest recording was honored by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City for “Outstanding Western Album.” She has received recognition for her music from the CMA of Texas and the International Red Carpet Awards in the Netherlands two years in a row.
Hailey Sandoz ~ Dallas, Texas
This Texas-bred musician is following a less-trodden path among millennials. Hailey's style is rooted in Western Swing, Jazz, Bluegrass and Celtic. This remarkable young artist captures the attention of audiences young and old through her dynamic performance and representation of Western Swing – “The Official Music of Texas.” Hailey is known for her exceptional fiddling, jazzy vocals and creative arranging skills. While Western Swing is her most fun wheelhouse, Hailey is at home playing Celtic, Country and anything in between. For the past 13 years, Hailey has traveled across the world performing at festivals and concert halls in the U.S. and abroad, including the Caribbean Islands and Equiblues Festival in France. At age 18, Hailey worked full-time with Grammy award winner Bobby Flores and the Yellow Rose Band. Since then, she has appeared with Bobby Flores on two seasons of the RFDTV series TruCountry . Hailey was named IWMA Instrumentalist of the Year in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. She was honored as the Cowtown Society of Western Music's Rising Star of the Year in 2019, Academy of Western Artist's Young Artist of the Year in 2016, and IWMA Crescendo Rising Star in 2015, as well as winning several fiddle competitions. This dynamite breaks the mold of tradition, offering America a new taste of its origins.
