Astrid is a singer-songwriter with influences that range from classical to heavy rock, with a healthy dose of blues and country in between. Her discography dates back to 1984 and boasts over forty releases, including several gold and platinum-selling albums singing backup for artists such as Neil Young and Nancy Wilson. Through the years, she has played stages large and small, from the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Hollywood to Paradiso in Amsterdam, Rock in Rio, and everywhere in between. Citing her primary influences as David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, and Black Sabbath, she plays a 12-string like it’s a weapon and she isn’t afraid to change strings on the day of a show.

As a tip to her hard rocking roots, her solo acoustic shows have been compared to Alice In Chains Unplugged, and Music Connection Magazine once said she was “more closely related to Angus…” Music Express magazine describes her as “evocative, stunning, soulful… a gifted songwriter,” and Blues Hamilton rightly notes that there is “a musical surprise around every corner.”

Young has released four solo albums: Brainflower in 1995, Matinee in 2002, Pokalolo Paniolo (as iST) in 2003, and more recently, One Night at Giant Rock, the acid-folk epic, co-produced by Victor DeLorenzo, an original Violent Femme, which has recently been remastered and re-released on vinyl. The much-anticipated sequel to One Night at Giant Rock, How the Beautiful Get Away with Murder, is slated for release in the spring of 2025 and features the legendary Eddie Kramer producing, David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets) on bass and collaborating on a co-written duet (the title track), and contributions from Neil Young himself.

Beyond music, Astrid is also a bestselling author. In 2009, she released Being Young: Scott, Neil and Me (Insomniac Press), has authored several screenplays, made a film, is a certified sommelier, and is fresh off a 26-date tour of US theatres as the opening act for Our House: the Music of CSNY.
