Kristin Hersh has never had much for a career path, but the evolution of her music has always worked itself out.

From the seminal group Throwing Muses to the D.I.Y. punk of Fifty Foot Wave, her continued exploration of solo-acoustic work seems like a logical step in as much as everything else she's done.

Songs performed: "Winter," "Nerve Endings," and "Sugar Baby."
