A Special Mid-Summer Music on Malphrus - Kirsten Maxwell
Saturday, August 16th at 7:00 pm

 

Kirsten Maxwell is a New York born artist, singer, and songwriter, known for her unique voice reminiscent of Collins, Mitchell, and Baez. With a background in Opera and a love for Jazz Standards, Maxwell is known for effortlessly crossing genres, all while maintaining a pure, expressive tone that often moves audiences to tears. Her clever, heart-rending lyrics have been recognized in several contests across the country, and her talent has earned her opening slots for Melissa Etheridge, Tanya Tucker, The Bacon Brothers and a tour with legendary singer/songwriter Judy Collins.

 

“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. Hearing Kirsten sing is uplifting-her future as a performer will be an inspiration in an already marvelous present.” - Judy Collins, “Singer, Songwriter, and fan"
