UK/Eire Tour 2016
Kristin Hersh returns again to Ireland and the UK for a rare solo tour in support of her highly anticipated new double CD and book, “Wyatt At The Coyote Palace” (Omnibus Press) due out October 4th. Hot on the heels of 50FootWave’s “Bath White” EP and following the hugely successful crowdfunding of “Nerve Endings” – collected lyrics from across her career, Kristin has compiled a 24 song collection of brand new tracks. Pre-orders for “Wyatt” will be available very soon on this site. “Wyatt” is the third release in the groundbreaking book/CD format that Kristin began with her most recent solo album “Crooked” and the Throwing Muses 2013 release “Purgatory/Paradise”. “An Evening with Kristin Hersh” includes readings and songs from her works spanning her entire career. For those of you in the USA we are putting together tour dates to support the release and will announce them very soon…

Don’t Suck, Don’t Die
“A haunting ode to a lost friend, this memoir by the acclaimed author of Rat Girl offers the most personal, empathetic look at the creative genius and often-tormented life of singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt that is ever likely to be written.”

Purgatory/Paradise
In 2013, Throwing Muses returned with their first studio album in 10 years – published as a book and a CD. The art book is 64-pages of lyrics, essays, and photos and includes a 32-track CD that was entirely listener-supported thanks to Kristin’s Strange Angels. There is access to online content when you purchase the book – including instrumentals, a commentary by Kristin and David, and digital music files in mp3 and lossless formats.
