Krista Petti

Krista Petti is a South Jersey native and musician of over 15 years. She began her journey with music in the fourth grade starting with the trumpet in her middle school band. Her love of music didn’t quite start there, Krista’s earliest memories are of watching her family play in bands, orchestras, and musicals, and at family cookouts and fundraising events, all while wishing that she would one day do the same. Krista enjoys a challenge and, throughout the years, has learned to play a total of 14 instruments. (She believes that one day she could achieve 20 instruments total, but only time will tell.)

 Krista is not only the guitarist and vocalist, but also the bassist and vocalist of Jersey Shakedown, Evermour, and the guitarist and vocalist for Petti Little Things. both bands feature members of the Petti family, as well as other relatives and close friends.  

When Krista is not at rehearsal or a gig, she is a full-time Household Coordinator and CNA at a skilled nursing facility and full-time Fur Mom to her dog and three cats. She also enjoys eating at her favorite vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free restaurants in the city, going to local wineries and distilleries with her wife, and listening to one of her 150 records that she has collected over the last decade. Krista also enjoys playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and vintage Nintendo 64 games on her Nintendo Switch to unwind.  

Fun fact: As an avid Classic Rock enthusiast, Krista’s favorite band is Fleetwood Mac and she was lucky enough to see them all together three times in one tour.
