Kristin Hersh - Australian Tour 2025

To celebrate the release of her acclaimed “Clear Pond Road” album, 2023 saw Kristin

Hersh play her first shows in Australia for seven years. A slew of sold out dates during

an east coast spring had Kristin reconnect with her favourite country in the world and

convinced her that she needed to get back to play again as soon as she could.

Currently in the studio completing another Throwing Muses album for an early 2025

release, Kristin Hersh will be playing headline shows along the east coast and

returning to Adelaide and Perth for the first time in a decade, as well as appearing at

Port Fairy Folk and Blue Mountains Music festivals.

The inimitable Kristin Hersh is a musician's musician, a songwriter's songwriter, and an

innovator's innovator.

Her first band, Throwing Muses, began recording and playing out when they were just

14 years old and they're still going. Their 2020 critically acclaimed Sun Racket album

was hailed as a "perfect record”.

“Hersh published an autobiography, Rat Girl: A Memoir, in 2010, and Clear Pond

Road similarly looks back on her extraordinary life…like Hersh herself, the album

resists convention and refuses to be pinned down. 4 stars” - Slant Magazine

"One of indie rock's most fascinating figures" - The Guardian

Wildly prolific, she has released more than 20 albums solo, with Throwing Muses and

with her noise rock band, 50 Foot Wave.

She's also a celebrated author: Rolling Stone named her first book, Rat Girl, one of

the ten best rock memoirs of all time.

NPR said of her second book, Don't Suck, Don't Die, "...one of the most beautiful rock

memoirs ever written."

Her third, the game-changing Seeing Sideways, pushes the envelope of creative non-

fiction while telling the story of raising her 4 sons on a tour bus.

Kristin’s ‘Clear Pond Road’ album is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes

from a fiercely independent auteur, sitting plush with layers of all-consuming strings and

mellotron. It’s a watershed moment in a career overflowing with creative firsts and

inspirational thinking; an elegant piece of personal reportage, a home movie caught in

time.
