Hestina

Hestina are an indie folk group from New Orleans led by Michelle Ausman and Kimberly Vice. The two initially formed as a duo in 2014 under the name Sirens, releasing their debut album, Blossom Talk, on the Community Records label. With their sparse blend of smoky harmonies and percussive ukulele balladry, Ausman and Vice eventually caught the attention of Los Angeles-based indie Autumn Tone Records, and after altering their name to Hestina, celebrated the national re-release of Blossom Talk in early 2016. ~ Timothy Monger
