Originally from a small town in the Sandhills of Western Nebraska, becoming a finalist on the 2007 ABC PrimeTime Special “Six Degrees of Martina McBride” and winning the “People’s Choice” for her performance at the Wild Horse Saloon, led Kristina to Christian and Country music mecca, Nashville, TN.  In 2010, Kristina formed her Band, The Kristina Craig Band, now known as Kristina Craig and Exit 148, comprised of some of Nashville’s most elite musicians.  In November 2012, the band released their all-original album, entitled “Angel with Tattoos”, a 12 song CD, combining wholesome country music with a positive message.

 

The sounds of this album vary from soothing country, with a hint of blues, to fun up-tempo beats with a touch of rock.  The Band crosses generational lines as well, with a show that delivers traditional country music and contemporary radio hits; as well as reaching those from Churches, to rodeos, fairs and festivals.  They have played along-side incredible artists at venues like the Country Stampede, and Loretta Lynn's Ranch,  just to name a few.  The band is about to release a brand-new EP due out in late Summer of 2021.   

 

The hallmark of Kristina Craig and Exit 148 is their ability to create an energetic and fun filled experience, and simultaneously a personal and intimate one. 

The Band is purposeful with their influence, being endorsed by Last Call 4 Grace Ministries, as well as being involved with women and children’s shelters. 

They have a heart for those dealing with the cycles of abuse and addiction, and their desire for every show is for people to walk away changed, regardless of what kind of venue they are playing.  They believe the Lord wants to see His people set free from sickness and iniquities, as well as broken hearts restored. 

Kristina Craig & Exit 148 are a band with a mission that goes beyond sharing and selling uplifting songs,  but even more, uplifting souls
