Sarah Slean Is The Baroness
Sarah
Slean already had the audience on her side before she sat down at the grand
piano, for her performance at Vancouver Canada’s Vancouver East Cultural
Center. In what easily rates as one of the most entertaining performances of
the year, Slean greeted the audience with, ‘I wore my party dress for you,’
referring to her billowing, ornate dress.
Shelby Lynne Steals Their Hearts
With
all due respect to the many outstanding performances from so many talented
artists, that this magazine has had the opportunity to review, none of them
can compare with the tender, heartfelt, warmth that emanated from Shelby
Lynne as she performed at Richards On Richards in Vancouver, Canada on
Saturday April 26, 2008. If ever an artist gave a love letter to her fans,
then Shelby Lynne did just that, through her songs, her genuine expressions
of gratitude for her audience's applause, and through her simple words of
affection.
Dynamite Bill & A Stranger
When
you listen to singer and songwriter Peter Mulvey, tell his tales, while
accompanying himself on his acoustic guitar you do not really want to call him a
folk artist despite the fact that Rogue Folk was hosting his concert on May 4th.
He is more of an easygoing folk rock artist, whose melodies sometimes remind
you of Jack Johnson. He is a master storyteller, who possesses the gift of
humor.
Patty Larkin Tells Her Stories
By the time singer/songwriter and musician,
extraordinaire Patty Larkin had finished playing the first song of her own
set, “St Augustine,” (from Red = Luck, 2003), the crowd which had
gathered for her May 4th concert, at St. James Hall in Vancouver,
were already in love with her. Larkin was in the Canadian city to promote and
perform several songs from her new CD Watch The Sky.
