Friday’s Child is the potent musical union of singer-songwriter Krista Van Slingerland and multi-instrumentalist / engineer Evan Massey. Their story is as compelling as their sound: a formerly married couple who channeled the journey of their divorce into their art, emerging with a powerful and collaborative new chapter. This raw honesty is the bedrock of their music—a nostalgic brand of Americana rich with haunting melodies and profound emotional depth. Imagine the lyrical heart of Brandi Carlile meeting the searing guitar work of Jason Isbell. Krista’s voice—a powerful instrument recalling the warmth of Sarah McLachlan and the nuance of Rachael Price—weaves around Evan’s virtuosic, Laur Joamets-inspired playing. Together, they create a live experience that is both cathartic and uplifting, a testament to music’s power to heal and connect. Poised for a breakout 2026, they will release the rest of their debut album, Broken Home (vol. 1), a direct product of this transformative period, in February before hitting the road in the Spring / Summer. Friday’s Child is a must-see act, ready to bring their resonant and unforgettable story to the festival stage.
