Album - Lost in a Dream - Release Date: July 16, 2021
"Lost in a Dream is a stunningly beautiful, moving, and satisfying album. Kristin Callahan is an extraordinary

precise and poetic, but Kristin herself is the reason we came."
-Travis Rogers Jr, The Jazz Owl
"She is riveting as she gets fragile around the tapped percussive strings on “Once I Loved”. As flexible and strong as
Cirque du Soleil."
-George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly

letting it simmer."
