‘A fearless rock innovator’ New York Times
Kristin Hersh’s prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release. This will be an evening in the intimate surroundings of the Trades Club with a master guitarist and songwriter.
Expect an authentic performance featuring songs from her 30-year, 20-plus album playbook including Throwing Muses and 50FootWave cuts, as well as her unique solo work.
Kristin Hersh’s new album Clear Pond Road is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, sitting plush with layers of all-consuming strings and mellotron. It’s a watershed moment in a career overflowing with creative firsts and inspirational thinking; an elegant piece of personal reportage, a home movie caught in time.
‘Few artists understand the intensity of living one’s art like Hersh’ The Guardian
‘Her songs have always been both confessional and formally challenging; they expose her, but also evade us, throwing down clues and scurrying into dark thickets before revealing anything more.’ NPR
‘Kristin Hersh’s tough, instinctive wail, has been one of the greatest sounds in American underground rock for decades.’ Stereogum
This event is fully booked.
