Throwing Muse Kristin Hersh brought her solo show to The Old Vic, with the 100+ year old cinema in Devonport proving to be a perfect match for Hersh’s cinematic songs.

Kristin Hersh brought her solo show to Auckland’s Tuning Fork, highlighting songs from her most recent album, Clear Pond Road, along with plenty of old favourites. We here at 13th Floor have been following the sometime Throwing Muse/50FootWave/solo artist for years now
