Kristin Hamilton, formerly of Under The Big Oak Tree currently performs as a solo artist, as a duo with her daughter Lucy Gray, folk quartet Primrose Junction and her star-studded honkytonk band, The Heat.
Hamilton grew up singing at spontaneous musical get-togethers on her family's farm in northwest Missouri. Extended family would gather under a big oak tree on summer nights to sing and play old country and gospel numbers. Being "the shy one" in the group, she was eventually brave enough to accept an invitation to sing at church that led to an invitation to perform at a community event. Accompanied by her father and accomplished guitar player, Rocky Cathcart, the show was a great success and eventually led to the formation of Acoustic Folk/ Country Roots band, Under The Big Oak Tree that included some of the best musicians in the area - Simon Fink, Doug Ward, and Jason Riley. Under The Big Oak Tree has released three full length albums which have all been listed as Kansas City area favorites, including the 2018 release "The Ark". "The Ark" has earned repeated spins on local NPR and community radio stations and featured two of Kristin's original songs, "Daytime Moon" and "Dear Brother". "Daytime Moon" was announced as "The Most Played Song" in 2020 on 90.1 KKFI's River Trade Radio.
