Better than an artist bio this beautiful feature article just came out in Kirsten’s hometown newspaper the York County Coast Star. Writer Shelley Wigglesworth recalls of the young Thien, “Kirsten’s naturally curly red hair was the first thing to set her apart from others; though her musical talent soon overshadowed her fiery locks.”
Recently, Wigglesworth was re-acquainted with the grown up Thien “when I saw a preview featuring her on the Maine television show ’207′. I jumped from my seat in the living room and proudly announced to my family, ‘I know her! I grew up with her!’ I watched like a proud parent as she took the stage and her powerful, smoky, slightly raspy voice belted out a repertoire of bluesy original songs. There’s no doubt about it — the girl can rock.”
Delicious continues to get radio-love in the US and Europe, recently debuting at #13 on the Euro Americana chart for July 2011. Kirsten and Her Band will hit the road on the East Coast in July. See if there’s a show near you.
