About

People often respond to my voice first. They find it calming and emotional, and it feels like there's some kind of energy exchange that is palpable for me too. It usually creates a comfortable space where people sink back into their bodies and feel safe to cry. Folks have also connected with the songwriting for it's weight and cleverness, and shout out the guitar work, for being intentional and unobtrusive, but supportive of the whole. 

What People Say

“I once saw Kirsten Maxwell take the stage in a raucous bar. The patrons were there to drink, not listen. She began a delicate ballad, and by the third line, she had them in the palm of her hand. Kirsten is a strikingly special performer.” - Paul Shaffer
