    TOP STORIES
    Crystal Armentrout is one of the few performers who can accurately be described as embodying the concept of the total, consummate artist: A versatile singer who possesses a voice of incredible technical ability as well as emotional depth, a songwriter with an uncanny knack for creating new melodies with lyrics that bring unexpected variations to seemingly familiar themes, and she is also a virtuoso guitarist who combines a diversity of influences including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Prince.

    A native of Staunton, Virginia, Crystal started her musical career by playing alto saxophone in school ensembles before later taking up drums and guitar in a rock music context. (By age seventeen, she had begun working in an all-female group that covered such artists as Pat Benatar, Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks.)

    Over the next several years, Crystal developed a reputation as an outstanding lead guitar player and singer-songwriter in the DC Metro area and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region opening for national acts such as Jeff Healey Band, .38 Special, Indigenous and the Guess Who. It is important to note that Crystal has also been on the same billing with well-known acts John Mayer, Mindy Smith, John Hiatt and Nanci Griffith.

    Relocating to Nashville in 2000, Crystal began honing her already considerable songwriting skills by collaborating with local writers while still continuing to perform regionally in cities including Atlanta, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Charlotte, North Carolina. (Two of her songs will be included in the upcoming independent film, Apocalypse, by David Gwin.)

    After cementing her reputation as a charismatic live performer with two self-produced CD releases, Armentrout began work on a third effort at Dark Horse Recording in Franklin, Tennessee. (Where artists such as Faith Hill, Alison Krauss and Neil Diamond have recorded previously.)

    “As It Should Be”, Crystal’s third CD, showcases the full range of her abilities. Moving effortlessly between modern rock, adult contemporary, old-school soul, funk and roots music, Crystal proves to be a masterful interpreter of virtually any style of music that she chooses to undertake.
