About

Fronting the award-winning Hobopop Collective, and with a voice that has been described as having the texture of 'smoke and velvet' Kirsty McGee has created a unique songbook, drawing on old vinyl blues, gospel, '30s jazz, Brechtian ballads and Brill Building sensibilities...all couched in whiskey tones, rending refrains and good old fashioned raw honesty. An innate curiousity, a DIY ethic and with an abiding love of the Great American Songbook, have produced music that's hard to categorise but difficult to ignore.

This lyric and photo book was produced to mark the release of her 8th album The Deafening Sound of Stars. It documents the band and includes lyrics from the CD as well as showcasing McGee's iphone photographs taken in Arctic Norway, Denmark and the US.
