Watch Kristin Hersh Perform Her Greatest Songs Live

I was lucky to see Kristin Hersh on her latest tour. The concert was exceptional and covered Hersh’s solo music and Throwing Muses tracks. The cello has been a constant companion to Hersh’s voice since 1994’s Hips and Makers. The cello, played by Pete Harvey, at times provides a haunting accompaniment, while at others, it offers a dramatic interpretation of the bass work of Bernard Georges. If you get the chance, go see Kristin Hersh live; there’s nothing like it. In the video, Kristin plays the following: Your Dirty Answer, with Lizard story (from Sunny Border Blue, Kristin Hersh) Sunray Venus (from Purgatory Paradise, Throwing Muses) Teeth (from Hips and Makers, Kristin Hersh) Bywater, with fish story (from Sun Racket, Throwing Muses) Flooding (from Crooked, Kristin Hersh) Your Ghost (from Hips and Makers, Kristin Hersh) Krait (from Crooked, Kristin Hersh) Kay Catherine (from Sun Racket, Throwing Muses)
