Kristin Hersh

If over 20 albums, including 9 solo records weren’t enough, songwriter and Throwing Muses frontwoman Kristin Hersh has added to her works with a new memoir - Rat Girl. The book is an evocative look at one year in young Hersh’s life, a year in which nearly everything changed for a struggling young woman and her rising indie-rock band.

Kristin Hersh participates in a Flavorpill conversation with Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of "Prozac Nation," at The Tank in Midtown tonight at 7 p.m. For more information, please visit the Flavorpill web site.

She also performs words and music from "Rat Girl" at 92nd St Y in Tribeca on Friday, Nov. 12. For more information, please visit the 92nd St Y Tribeca web site.
