Cowboy hats and boots could be spotted throughout the packed room at West End Johnnies on Saturday night as pop-country artist Krista Angelucci along with country, rock and blues band Digger Dawg rocked the energetic crowd. Fans sang along and danced to cover songs like Taylor Swift’s “Picture to Burn”, Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue” and even Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.”
Krista Angelucci always knew that she wanted to make the stage her home, and it was evident from a young age that singing and performing was what she was made to do.
“I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember,” said Krista. “When I was three, I was going around the house singing commercials. At eight years old I had my first solo in church, and it was probably around then when my family realized that singing was already my passion.”
In her high school days, Krista was first introduced to country music through artists like Martina McBride, Amy Grant and Faith Hill.
“My dad always said those types of songs fit my voice, and when I started really listening to country, I realized it was who I am as an artist,” said Krista. “I feel that with country music, you can sing about anything-- love, faith, a broken heart—things I’ve experienced in life so far.”
In 2009, Krista started performing with Digger Dawg, playing to crowds of thousands of people in Boston and throughout New England. Her on-stage performance packs a powerful punch of energy, heart and soul with every song. With her trusty acoustic guitar in hand, Krista’s talent captivates her audience throughout the night.
“It’s been really cool just seeing with every step I take in my career that another door opens, and then the next one and the next,” said Krista. “There will be times where you’re just like ‘okay now what do I do?’ and there’s always been something that comes along or a door that opens that brings me to the next step.”
Krista has performed the national anthem at various charity and sporting events, including the Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, Nascar, and New England Revolution. She has also opened for and shared the stage with artists such as Chuck Wicks, Lee Brice, Big & Rich, Hunter Hayes, and Jerrod Niemann.
Krista is set to release her debut album “Like it or Not” on September 23, 2012. The six-song album gives her fans a little bit of everything—from the upbeat and edgy “Like it or Not” to the sweet ballad “Sunset”, Krista shares life experiences and stories through her lyrics.
And what can fans expect from the album? “The life of a twenty year old!” Krista said. “I’ve got a mix of things on my album. I’ve got your heart break songs, love songs, and I’ve even got a few cheating songs on there actually.”
As Krista continues to perform with Digger Dawg and sets out on her own path, she looks forward to the next step in her musical career.
“My ultimate goal with my music is to go as far as I can go,” said Krista. “I would love to be the next superstar out there, but I would be perfectly satisfied with whatever God has for me. I would just love to have singing as a career, and something that I can do and support myself and my family from.”
