“After living in an array of places, I can finally call Woodstock my home,” noted Kirsten. “Its the place where I fell in love with my life, my surroundings, and how I feel as an overall artist. It works with me, and me with it. It’s OK where I am at the moment, but also asks that I evolve with it. I’m thrilled to be able to perform my opening concert during such an exciting weekend in Woodstock.”
The show will serve as a a prelude to their sharing the stage for an official CMJ showcase presented by TM Promotions on Thursday, October 22nd at BLVD (http:\/\/blvdnyc.com), home to Crash Mansion. Ranging from toe-tapping to somber songs, “Thorns On A Crown” encompasses the sweetness of Liz Phair, a soft, airy quality like that of Sia, and the rich alto of Fiona Apple. Named by Deli Magazine as a ‘NYC Artist on the Rise’, Alyson Grenfield will be performing songs from her recently released album “Tuscaloosa,” which showcases her “…unharnessed creativity and multi-genre performance” (CTN Music).

“I am so excited to play a show in Woodstock!” said Alyson. “When I spend time in Woodstock, which I have been doing more recently, I find myself playing music with groups of people in open fields, art gallery hopping, and having long conversations with the incredibly friendly store owners. I am especially excited to be performing during the time of the film festival because I am passionate about merging art forms.”
