Kuhn’s solo project started in college. She has released a two EPs and plays regular gigs throughout New York. Her forthcoming debut album is composed of all of the different styles of music she loves, the music she plays in her bands, the music that she listens to on her own. She writes transcendent, heart on the sleeve of your cardigan indie rock with enough edge to make you want to dance.
