An Evening with Kristin Hersh

Over the last three decades, Kristin Hersh's prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release. Returning with a new solo record 'Clear Pond Road'  released in September 2023, the album is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, plush with layers of atonal, edgy-dreamy strings and mellotron.   It's a watershed moment in a career overflowing with creative firsts and inspirational thinking, an elegant piece of personal reportage. It's a sensuous, life-affirming statement, a very personal memoir; it's the a blossoming of a true icon of independence.  In 2018 Hersh announced a new partnership with Fire Records that made possible the release of her acclaimed tenth studio album, 'Possible Dust Clouds'. Since then there's been new releases from Throwing Muses ('Sun Racket', 2020) and 50Foot Wave ('Black Pearl', 2022) along with new book 'Seeing Sideways' (2022). "One of indie rock's most fascinating figures" (The Guardian) Hersh has released over 20 solo records, with Throwing Muses and 50FOOTWAVE to date. She is the author of an acclaimed memoir - based on her teenage diary - about a particularly eventful year, titled "Rat Girl"  ('Paradoxical Undressing' in the UK), which was named #8 on Rolling Stone's "25 Greatest Rock Memoirs of all time." She later released her albums 'Crooked'  (2010), 'Wyatt at the Coyote Palace'  (2016) and Throwing Muses'
