Kirsten Thien will appear with her band in Easton, MD on July 15th at the NightCat in support of the release of her Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n Roll CD, Delicious.
Thien’s unlikely path from a Georgetown University Business School graduate to a Blues and Roots Rock singer/songwriter began when she appeared in a student-run rock variety show during college. Since then she has released three full-length albums, toured the East Coast extensively, and shared the stage with the likes of Shawn Colvin and Buddy Guy.
Her latest release, Delicious, has received worldwide radio airplay, debuting at #11 on the Roots Music Report’s Blues Radio Charts, hitting the Living Blues Radio Charts two months in a row, and climbing to #2 on B.B. King’s Bluesville’s new music countdown (Channel 70 Sirius/XM Radio). Delicious highlights Thien’s award-winning songwriting talent and includes two tracks featuring Blues guitar legend Hubert Sumlin.
“Kirsten Thien’s stock in trade is modern blues infused with soul and rock. She’s a lithe, composed vocalist, inclined to use her attractive voice to elevate rather than plumb lyrics in songs she’s written about sensual love.”
-Frank-John Hadley, DownBeat Magazine
“This fire-haired songwriter’s voice strikes a perfect balance between the precise but homey crooning of Bonnie Raitt and the sheer incendiary power of Janis Joplin… Delicious will have you asking for seconds.”
-Stephen Fortner, Keyboard Magazine
While comparisons abound, from Keb’ Mo’ to Sheryl Crow, Thien has carved out her own unique Contemporary Blues sound that travels the highway between 1955 Chicago, 1969 Memphis, and present-day New York City (Thien’s current home in the space-time continuum). Thien’s stellar touring band has been together for over five years and promises a romping, stomping good time!
