Kristy Kline: The Harp Rock Trailblazer Making Waves Across Genres
When you think of a harpist, you probably don’t picture a high-voltage stage presence or genre-bending energy—but Kristy Kline is here to change that. A Cleveland-based electric harpist, singer-songwriter, and the creative force behind “Harp Rock,” Kristy blends alternative pop, rock, jazz, and more into a sound all her own. With a harp performance degree from Ohio University, a performance for the King of Jordan, and a thriving teaching and agency career, her path is as inspiring as her music. After a decade-long engagement at the Ritz-Carlton, where she connected with legendary artists like Robert Plant and Billy Joel, Kristy doubled down on her vision. With four released CDs, including the mesmerizing Egyptian Harp Dreams, she’s now crafting new music that fuses her signature electric harp with bold vocals and modern beats, pushing the boundaries of where harp and rock collide.
