Astrid Young plays The Branch Restaurant in Kemptville June 28

For the first time, Astrid Young is playing a show at The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill in Kemptville. Yes, she is related to rock-and-roll royalty, being Neil Young’s half-sister. Raised in a different household but sharing the same musical genes, Astrid has more of a psychedelic rock element to her sound but the similarities are still there. Locals may find it interesting that Neil Young’s 2012 video for Born in Ontario features a drive up Prescott Street Kemptville, circa 1956. If the video had continued a few seconds longer, it would end on the front doorstep of the Branch Restaurant. Astrid’s new album, One Night at Giant Rock, comes out today (Friday, June 27).

Astrid will give a live interview and performance prior to her show at STAR 975 at 5pm. That can also be streamed live for out-of-towners at www.mystarfm.com.
