is led by the singer, songwriter and MC Kaisa Ling. The pianist Rene Paul has played with Kaisa since 2018.
Provocative, quasi-political and downright braggy, somewhat refined while teetering on the edge of tawdry, Estonia’s best (albeit the only) vaudeville blues band casts a passionate message into dynamic musical form.
The Kaisa Ling Thing has released two LPs and two blues musicals. They have toured their glitzy and flamboyant, yet self-conscious and emotionally vulnerable vaudeville blues all over Estonia, and are now taking on the world stage with their first English-language fringe show „The Feminist’s Handbook for Eastern Europe” and the show consisting of the most scandalous hits of historical classic female blues from the 1920s and 30s, „A Plug-Ugly Man”.
