Pop/Country artist Krista Angelucci is from Billerica, Massachusetts. Angelucci first fell in love with country music when she started to listen to artists like Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Jessica Andrews and Amy Grant. When Angelucci was only eight years old she sang her first solo in church and that is also when her family found out that singing was her passion. As she got older, she started to write and perform music of her own; she soon became a local singer of the Boston-area country music scene. She also earned some awards like New Hampshire and New England Country Female Entertainer for “Country Act of the Year” at the New England Music Awards.

Angelucci had played in many local country bands, sang the national anthem for the Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, NASCAR and New Revolution. She also was the opening act for artists like Phil Vassar, Chuck Wicks, Lee Brice, Kip Moore and Hunter Hayes.

Angelucci put out her debut EP, “Like It Or Not,” in 2012. She is now living in Nashville and she continues to improve her writing and performance skills. In 2016, she put out her second EP “Love Me Crazy.” Her second EP showcases Angelucci down to earth personality. The EP was recorded at 3rd Room Music, The Couch Room and the historic Omni Studio in Nashville and was produced by Angelucci and Chris Parker. The first single from her second EP is called “Boom Boom” and this song is becoming a favorite among Angelucci’s fans. All of Angelucci’s music is available on Spotify and iTunes.

3. Who are some of your musical icons?
– Carrie Underwood, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, and Bruce Springsteen!
 
4. What is the story behind your new single “Busch Light Budget?”
– I was at the grocery store with my friends buying drinks. We were looking at a bunch of expensive bottles but ended up leaving the store with Busch Light. We ended up having an amazing time that night and realized that it’s not about how expensive our taste is, it’s about having a great time with 
great friends! 
 
5. If you could sing a duet with a famous singer or group who would it be and why?
– Brothers Osborne –they are just purely amazing and they’re my favorite act right now. Or Maren Morris—so we could just belt a soulful song together!

I’m headed to Argentina in a few weeks to represent the USA and headline the 14th Annual San Pedro Country Music Festival! I was asked exclusively by Country2.com owner Gustavo Laurino to fill the spot. I am bringing my band and going with cohost Camo from the internationally-syndicated radio show, Nashville Access. This is going to be so much fun! Believe it or not, I was literally at the post office the next day filing out my passport application. I’ve never been out of the country and I’m so honored for this to be the reason. You can actually watch the festival live on the Country2.com website September 23rd at GMT-3 time which is two hours ahead of CST.
