Kirsten Maxwell
Kirsten Maxwell, a multifaceted singer-songwriter who has been earning accolades and winning over audiences across the country, returns to Earth Room Concerts, after appearing in 2017 with Matt Nakoa, and in 2018 as a trio with Alice Howe and Freebo.

She has drawn comparisons to such timeless singers as Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, and Joan Baez, while her vocal range and ability allow her to move seamlessly across genres – broadening the scope of her performances.

“Kirsten Maxwell is an amazing writer and powerful, evocative singer whose performances are a sheer joy. She shines in her own lyrical compositions and in her singular choices of other artists, especially those of Joni Mitchell.” That’s how Judy Collins describes Kirsten, whom she has invited to open for her in concert and on tour a number of times.

Kirsten has been a finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition and an audience-voted “Most Wanted” artist following a Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. In 2020, she was one of five artists selected to receive a grant from the Joe’s Pub Working Group – an artist development program of The Public Theater in NYC. We’re delighted to welcome Kirsten back to Earth Room Concerts!

Advance tickets $25, at the door $30.

The Nields
The Nields, sisters Nerissa and Katryna, have been playing together and recording for over 30 years, initially as a 5-piece alt-rock band, and then as a folky singer/songwriter duo since the late ‘90s. With Nerissa’s acoustic guitar and their unique vocal harmonies, their sound is instantly recognizable. They have recorded 21 albums, and are favorites at such annual gatherings as the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.

As it says in their press kit: “With their unparalleled ability to blend pop craftsmanship, folk sensibility, and the influences of '60s classic rock and '90s alternative, The Nields have created a distinctive musical style that defies categorization. Their songs, imbued with intelligence and occasional humor, offer poignant observations on life's unexpected twists and turns. Apple Music describes their sound as "equal parts The Beatles, the cranberries, and Joni Mitchell," a testament to their unique fusion of melodic sensibilities.”

Nerissa and Katryna were featured at the 2nd Earth Room Concert back in the fall of 2016, and we’re very happy to have them return to us 9 years later.

Advance tickets $25, at the door $30.

"Beyond the fine selection of songs and the talented team assembled in the studio, what really shines through on Joe Jencks' new album are his resonant, honey-rich voice, his open-hearted humanity, and his commitment to social justice. We need artists who inspire our better selves more than ever, don't we?" ~ John Platt, WFUV, New York, NY
