Minot, North Dakota

Jazmine Wolff was a featured entertainer at Pride Fest 2008.

Jazmine Wolff is a North Dakotan, both born and raised, and native of the Burlington/ Minot area. She graduated from high school in 2005 from Des-Lacs/ Burlington senior high.  Since then, she has been attending Minot State University, pursuing degrees in both elementary education and theatre arts.

Professionally, Jazmine had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor and a camp director, and now, while attending school, she works part time, rolling sushi on Saturdays and making gourmet coffee drinks the rest of the week.  Recently Jazmine co-founded Pangea House, a community center, whose main purpose is to provide opportunities for youth in the community to grow through art, education, and the exploration of their unique talents and abilities.

Music is an integral part of describing Wolff and is one of the most important driving factors behind starting Pangea House.  Her first singing performance took place during a school wide talent show in third grade. You could say she was born with a music gene and from there everything snowballed.  Somewhere around her eighth grade year she decided to supplement her singing by picking up the guitar, and last, but certainly not the final step in her musical evolution, she performed a song she wrote, for her graduation, officially becoming a singer-songwriter- and guitarist.

Since 2005, Wolff has written many songs.  Fifteen of which she took on a successful first tour to the East Coast, during Christmas break 2007.  Over the past year, she has performed with artists: Jason Ricci, Paul Baribeau, and Robert Sarzin Blake, to name a few, and she had the opportunity to play at a number of events, including:  Urban Harvest, The Garlic and Grape Festival, ND Capital Pride Fest, Rock the Leaves Off the Trees (a cancer benefit concert), That Takes Ovaries, Applefest, the Abused Adult Resource Center’s State Convention, Minot’s Arts in the Park Idol Competition, and many more which she was delighted to have the opportunity to play.

Jazmine Wolff’s first full album entitled Love and Stuff will be out this Christmas.

Kris Kitko was a featured entertainer at Pride Fest 2008

Her musical skits & parodies like “On Becoming a Woman and Other Lies” have brought down the house across the country. Kitko delights her audiences with a reminder that we’ve all got issues with her hysterical sing-along “Everybody’s Family Is Messed Up (Including Yours and Especially Mine).” Kris Kitko has shared the stage with artists as diverse as Bitch & Animal, Ferron, Angie Stevens, Scott Free, and Chuck Suchy. She has been featured on Prairie Public Radio, Minnesota Public Radio, Laney Goodmans’ “Women in Music,” Windy City Radio, lots of live radio & TV appearances and on podcasts around the globe. Kris Kitko has performed to raise money for domestic violence programs, animal shelters, children’s services, and urban renewal projects. Kitko’s self-titled CD debut was named “Debut of the Year” by Windy City Times. Her long awaited follow-up “i am not wal-mart” has just been released and is ruffling feathers everywhere. Guitar Noise predicts that “Kitko is a name that will go far,” and it’s looking as though she’s on her way.
