Share

Kirsten Thien and Screen Door announce the release of her third album, Delicious. This album has eleven songs with three of them being covers in which she either wrote or co-wrote. Originally from Maine and now residing in New York City, Kirsten Thien comes to us in an up-tempo fashion with her latest work showing us just why she won the Abe Olman Award for Excellence in Songwriting in 2009.

Kirsten Thien has been on the rise since 2001 and infuses her love for Aretha Franklin, traditional New Orleans jazz and the classic women blues singers of the 20's into all her album releases. Erik Boyd not only produced and played bass on the album but arranged the band for each song so that it would blend the talents of the band that tours with the NYC session cats from her last 2006 recording. They also added veteran blues heavyweights, Arthur Neilson (guitar), Billy Gibson (harmonica) and Hubert Sumlin (guitar) with Grammy nominated mixing engineer Dan Myers.

Performing Songwriter raved that "Thien's got a great set of pipes moving from Bonnie Raitt mellow to Aretha Franklin wailing high notes." Jamie Perkins of Portsmouth Herald says "Thien is a natural at songwriting. Weaving her way through the lyrical intricacies of relationships both positive and negative, she seasons her songs with dashes of instrumental differentiation." While The New Britain Herald says "The city's 'New Britain is Alive' lunch-time concert series ....got a toe-stomping start Wednesday with recording artist Kirsten Thien and her band." Don't miss this tasty, soothing and ripened band that blends with Kirsten's voice like "Warm apple pie your grandmother made for you" exclaimed Muzikreviews.
