Kristen Posey is a Texas Native. In her high school years donors gifted her public school harps in 2015, Kristen's curiosity to learn propelled her to pursue mastering the instrument. After just two and a half years of putting in countless hours of dedicated practice, Posey decided to audition for the University of Texas. Determined, she gave her time between lunch breaks after school to learn the harp and audition pieces. She then was accepted and admitted to the Butler School of Music at UT Austin.
Later She was given the opportunity to travel as a touring musician with the folk band, The Riverside. She then spent 5 years traveling and playing harp, cello, and singing harmonies across the country. After over 600 live events, Kristen now runs a freelance music business to serve her local community.

The harp I use is 5' 7" and 64 pounds. Having access to elevators if event is in a multi story building is important for instrument transportation.
If transportation is a barrier, I also travel with a beautiful Celtic lap harp.
I provide microphones and sound equipment if amplification is needed.
