Just the Kitchen

Christine Hartman and Leah Cole
with Katy Sensmeier and Andrea Kuehne

Four sisters and lots of singing
has given way to Just the Kitchen. In the kitchen (of course), in the
car, in church and in school, JTK has been singing together off and on as life permits for more than 20 years. Though the sisters grew up in California, the album was recorded while Christine and Leah lived in St. Petersburg, Florida.  Fortunately both Katy and Andrea were able to make the trip out to contribute.  Since the album's release, Christine and Leah have moved back to the Golden State, where Katy also makes her home. Andrea makes her home in Ohio, where everyone visits when they are ready for some snow!
