SLOAN WAINWRIGHT BAND
Contemporary
folk-pop singer-songwriter Sloan Wainwright – youngest sister
to folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright III and aunt to Rufus
and Martha Wainwright – is just weeks away from the release
of her latest CD project Rediscovery. This new work from the
artist is a collection of hand picked cover tunes, a musical
rediscovery of, and reconnection to, ten songs that have inspired
and influenced her deeply.
Stand out tracks include
the fan-favorite 'Ring of Fire', a poignant version of John Lennon's
'Love' and a stark and soulful interpretation of Neil Young's
'After The Gold Rush'. On Saturday, June 7, Sloan will be bringing
her rich contralto, her trusted musical collaborator and guitar-player
Stephen Murphy and their band to the Towne Crier stage for her
hometown CD release event. The evening will feature live performances
from Rediscovery as well as both updated and classic versions
of her self-penned songs culled from an impressive, and critically
acclaimed, discography.
Audience members often describe
her personal appearances as forceful and uplifting. Defying standard
categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright consistently
demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical
styles: pop, folk, jazz and blues, held together by the melodious
tone of her powerful voice. The musical end result is a unique
and soulful hybrid. "...Sloan Wainwright…whose regal
voice could fell a redwood” The Boston Globe. "...one
of those singers whose performance is a force of nature."
Sing Out Magazine “…earth mother voice that
she pours into unexpectedly sensitive blends of folk, jazz, blues
and funk." The New York Times Sloan has been our
special secret here at The Towne Crier Cafe for many years. But
now the secret is out.
