Kristin Hersh performs songs from her solo career and new album Clear Pond Road in an intimate concert at All Saints Church
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.
"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' Purgatory/Paradise (2013) as groundbreaking books of music, artwork, essays and lyrics. NPR Books said of Hersh's latest work, Don't Suck, Don't Die, about her friendship with the late Vic Chesnutt, "Not only one of the best books of the year, it's one of the most beautiful rock memoirs ever written."
