KIERST

“The fragility of Kierst’s music grips you in a stronghold; every guitar strum and tender vocal line renders you firmly in position. Her work also – unsurprisingly – mirrors a relatively introverted personality.”The Line of Best Fit

Kierst (aka Kiersten Asbill Chow) began playing in dive bars back home in Columbia, South Carolina aged 15, starting a band with some of her classmates which would later lead to support slots alongside various Sub Pop-signed artists. Though she’d soon find herself pursuing new musical avenues, these early days were pivotal stepping stones in more ways than one. “I still think I’m not the most comfortable person being on stage,” she says, glancing down slightly nervously. “I remember the first show we played I thought I was going to be sick. But those years were really important because I think if I’d started it later, I wouldn’t be able to get up on a stage now and just play. Now, I like to have more fun with music and not put such immense pressure on myself like I did when I was younger.”
