The inimitable Kristin Hersh is a musicians musician, a songwriters songwriter, and an innovators innovator.

Her first band, Throwing Muses, began recording and playing out when they were just 14 years old and theyre still going. Their 2020 critically acclaimed Sun Racket album was hailed as a perfect record”, and their next album Moonlight Concessions will be released in 2025.

Hersh’s recent solo album Clear Pond Road album 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.

“The crowd whoops and hollers as Hersh sings, ‘I think last night you were driving around me’ like a mantra. We were treated to twenty songs but it still felt too short.” – Marty Duda, 13th Floor review of Kristin Hersh, Auckland show, 2023.
