Throwing Muses star going solo at Birmingham's Glee Club
Throwing Muses star Kristin Hersh will bring her solo show to Birmingham's Glee Club on Tuesday during an intimate evening with fans.
The singer-songwriter will be performing songs from throughout her career and will also be reading from her new 24-track CD and book.
Hersh is grateful that she's been able to express herself through music.
She said: "What if there was no spotlight shining down on standing in your truth?
"No photo ops, no one watching, no shared anger. What if your belief system quietly faded you into the background? How strong is your stomach for that?
"Americans generally aren't cut out for it. We like attention.
"Or maybe we just think that because attention-seekers make noise, block our view.
"This particular conundrum comes with a reward, I think, but it means being willing to miss your flight in order to hang out in the airport lounge: be in between. Maybe even nowhere if that place exists. I love people, always have.
"I can find something to love in everyone, for some reason. So can you, probably, we like to huddle, collect each other."
