About this concert
Influential songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Kristin Hersh, leader of the indie rock band, Throwing Muses and the noise rock power trio, 50 Foot Wave, is on the road with her highly acclaimed Fire Records release, Possible Dust Clouds. The touring trio is a hard hitting super group: Fred Abong, bass player from Throwing Muses (who opens solo, promoting his new ep, Pulsing) and Rob Ahlers, drummer of 50 Foot Wave. These electric trio shows are loud, tight and intense, featuring material from across Kristins thirty year career.

Kristin Hersh Biography
Kristin Hersh (born August 7, 1966 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States) is a prolific American singer-songwriter and a post-punk pioneer who was one of the two lead singers/guitarists in the alternative rock group Throwing Muses (the other was her stepsister Tanya Donelly). She also led the hardcore punk influenced power trio 50 Foot Wave, and has performed and recorded as a solo artist.
Hersh's music is known for its creative chord chemistry, hypnotic sonic treatments, and a vocal style ranging from softly melodic singing to impassioned screaming. Some of her signature contributions to popular music include addressing the complexities of marriage and motherhood through impressionistic, sometimes hallucinatory lyrics about everyday feelings and varying mental states.
