Kristin Hersh - Philharmonic Hall Music Room, Liverpool An intimate gig - stripped-back with the odd reminiscence of family life - told in her ever charming way. She only played for 75 minutes and then was gone - but with an attentive audience - no chatting at this one! And she played Your Ghost 😁
The one @kristinhersh.bsky.social playing at the Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh tonight. Fantabulous!
Kristin Hersh tonight at the Pleasance. Probably the best solo solo show I've seen her play, with plenty of recent stuff.

Kristin Hersh's twelfth solo album is set in the Providence of her childhood, where she and her brother stayed out late to avoid a stepfather who frightened them. One song addresses a friend killed in a police standoff last year. She has never been this plain about herself.

Kristin Hersh - Sugar on Blackstone | Alternative | Written in Music
Sugar on Blackstone is het twaalfde soloalbum van Kristin Hersh. Het succes van haar eerste, Hips and Makers, heeft ze waarschijnlijk met geen enkele van de opvolgende platen geëvenaard, maar dat maakt die albums natuurlijk niet per definitie minder relevant. Voeg hierbij nog de meer dan vijftien albums met Throwing Muses en 50 Foot Wave […]

The world is constantly changing; socials have changed and we are constantly changing and adapting too, maybe a little underwhelmed to keep up sometimes, but we still exist and we haven’t gone anywhere 🤍 thekristinhersharchives.tumblr.com (pic by Stephanie Yao/Mississippi Studios Portland,July ‘06)
Hard to photograph, but here's a shopping bag for Learn to Sing Like a Star by Kristin Hersh - I can't guess where I shopped that this was the bag. I was living in Portland OR at the time this record came out, and I think KH was living there at the same time - I saw her SO much that year.

In 2002, the Exile Follies toured - it was Kristin Hersh, John Doe, and Grant Lee Phillips (who for some reason got totally shafted on the ticket stub). They played separate sets and collaborative sets and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. $15! God, I miss Maxwells.
Wishing a very happy birthday to @kristinhersh.bsky.social, and no better way to celebrate it than reading her answers to the questions that people sent to The Guardian a few weeks ago, just published today. Have a happy one, Kristin!
