Throughout her long career with Throwing Muses, 50 Ft. Wave and as a solo performer, Kristin Hersh has crafted a catalog that's equal parts avant-garde and alternative pop. Live, her strength of character, commanding voice and dexterity on the semi-acoustic guitar personify an artist who is passionate, intriguing and mysterious—essentially the same characteristics that have defined her career.
OPENING:
Tomorrow Tomorrow is a new project centered around singer Meredith DiMenna, who recently made waves as featured vocalist on "Legend in My Own Mind" by The Stepkids. The music on their upcoming debut album, GENTLEMEN GO, is a swelling, organ-drenched time capsule of ’60s studio craftsmanship, conjured up with Bridgeport based producer Chris Sanchez of Gold Coast Recorders. Songs were carefully chosen from the catalogues of both DiMenna and Sanchez as well as some of their songwriting friends and peers. The result is a riveting collection of psychedelic-country-torch songs: e verything from the Jack White-era Loretta Lynn of "Bible Code" to the avant-gospel of "Can't See My Sun" and the death-blues of "Grey Haired Girl". The album features appearances from members of The Stepkids, Mates of State, The Fever, The Shivers, Moonraker, and Caravan of Thieves. It also achieves the seemingly impossible, stretching the chameleonic DiMenna vocally from primitive warbler to beguiling torch songstress.
