Transcript of BLUES ROOTS ROCK ‘N SOUL -...
KIRSTEN THIEN
“Bluesy, soulful and rocking is what the Kirsten Thien Band is all about.”John Harper, Virginia Pilot
BLUES ROOTS ROCK ‘N SOUL
“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.”
Downbeat Magazine
Kirsten is the proud recipient of the 2009 Abe Olman Prize for Excellence in Songwriting

“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..”

“I saw Kirsten Thien in Memphis for the first but not the last
time. I booked her on the spot! Great show great energy!”
Paul Benjamin, North Atlantic Blues Fest
“She has the range, the soul, the sexiness... it’s unfair to the
rest of the singers out there but it’s great for us. From what
I’ve seen of her on YouTube she is well worth checking out
live! Her voice is clearly not the result of ‘studio magic.’”
Doug Morrissey, muzikreviews.com
Kirsten Thien and her band have been touring together for over five years, sharing the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Janiva Magness, Shawn Colvin, Big Bill Morganfield, and Paul Thorn, among others.
Kirsten’s shows are equally scintillating on an intimate acoustic stage or with her road-tested four-piece band. (Larger configurations are also available.)
Past appearances range from the New Orleans French Quarter Festival, to smoky down-home venues, to large festival stages like the Albany Tulip Festival, Artscape Baltimore, and Oswego Harborfest.
In 2011, Kirsten Thien and her band hit the road to support Delicious, the most recent release from this award-winning songwriter. Delicious debuted at #11 on the Blues Charts (rootsmusicreport.com) and continues to get strong support from radio internationally.
