Singer/Songwriter Kursten Bouton is becoming one of the most sought after artists in the greater Philadelphia area. Crafty and heartfelt lyrics are the foundation for her unique and captivating style. Her voice and the delivery of her music resonate deeply and there is a certain amount of healing that happens. Upon each listen to her songs there is always something new to discover.
Currently hailing from Montgomery County, Kursten has been a featured artist at Chaplins Music Cafe, Crossroads Coffee House, Intermezzo Cafe, and Dawson Street Pub in Philadelphia, The Wired Cafe and Gallery in Bethlehem, and was the driving force behind the successful "Breakthrough and VOTE!" events, bringing about much needed opportunity and ease of registration for previously unregistered citizens.
On an average day Kursten Bouton is anything but an average single mother of two; plucking out tunes on her guitar and giving adversity a run for its money. Her Baby Boutons are an endless supply of inspiration for her whether it comes directly from the mother/child relationship or simply in the will to keep on keeping on. One thing is for sure, this girl means it when she says "Don't Surrender!".
"True dreams never die, and no one ever said my life would be easy. Dreams are so beautiful, they are not even tangible. People can allow themselves to be kicked around and neglected. Journals can be crumpled up and thrown in some deep dark corner. Guitars can be stuffed into a gig bag and hidden deep in a closet. But a dream is something inside you that no one can see until you pull yourself up and realize it. Materialize it."
