Kristin Hersh

Celebrated songwriter Kristin Hersh will return to Australia this November for a run of intimate headline shows in support of her forthcoming new album Sugar On Blackstone, out 18 September via Fire Records. Renowned for her fiercely emotional performances and uncompromising songwriting, Hersh’s Australian dates will see her bring songs from Sugar On Blackstone to audiences across the country alongside highlights from her extensive catalogue. Following on from 2023’s Clear Pond Road, Sugar On Blackstone is a darker yet delicately rendered collection exploring life and death, memory, survival and human connection. Deeply personal and emotionally expansive, the album reflects on the lasting bonds between musicians, family and friends, and the way certain sounds and places can suddenly bring someone vividly back into focus. New single ‘Dark-Eyed Junco’ offers another striking glimpse into the album, pairing lucid melodies with deeply autobiographical storytelling. Recorded at Stable Sound Studios, the album features longtime collaborators Rob Ahlers (50FOOTWAVE) on drums and Pete Harvey (Throwing Muses) on cello. Long celebrated as one of alternative music’s most singular voices, Hersh continues to deliver performances that are both intensely intimate and disarmingly powerful - a rare opportunity to experience one of modern music’s most influential songwriters up close.
