Throwing Muses going on tour (dates)

Throwing Muses

Kristin Hersh is presenting a live performance of Paradoxical Undresing at Bumbershoot in Seattle this September. According to Bumbershoot’s site:

This solo spoken word and musical performance draws from Hersh’s acclaimed memoir of life as a teenager wrestling with issues of mental illness, creativity, teenage pregnancy, and the pressures of sudden fame. Combining film, music, and scripted excerpts from the book, the show is an intense, moving, and original experience.

You can purchase the book on Amazon.

In October and November Kristin will tour internationally as part of Throwing Muses, who reunited in 2009. That tour will bring the band to NYC on October 16 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Thursday (9/1) at noon.
