Over more than 25 years as an independent artist, Kris Delmhorst has built
a body of work characterized by wide-ranging, genre-agnostic curiosity and
constant collaboration. In addition to her nine critically-acclaimed studio
albums, she’s written music for films and TV, contributed as a producer,
player, and or/singer to scores of fellow artists’ work, and performed
thousands of shows across the US and Europe.

Delmhorst’s new album Ghosts in the Garden (3/7/25) is a layered,
kaleidoscopic meditation on grief, loss, and fate. Working at Great North
Sound Society, a studio built into an 18th-century Maine farmhouse that no
doubt harbors ghosts of its own, Delmhorst tracked live with Ray Rizzo on
drums, Jeremy Moses Curtis on bass, and Erik Koskinen on guitars. An
illustrious procession of guest vocalists – Anas Mitchell, Rose Cousins,
Anna Tivel, Ana Egge, Taylor Ashton, Rachel Baiman, Jabe Beyer, and
Jeffrey Foucault – brings prismatic brilliance to the tracks, refracting the
individual slant of each song’s light.

These songs illuminate the spirits of what was and what might have been, creating an
expansive conversation about the ways we’re shaped by loss, and woven
together by unseen threads of love.

Kris Delmhorst lives in western Massachusetts with her husband, the
songwriter Jeffrey Foucault, and their daughter.
