Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright is best known for her rich contralto voice and personal lyrics. Her musical style combines pop, folk, jazz, and blues, but the real star here is her voice. Warm and smoky and smooth, it makes her earthy lyrics seem all the more intense. She belongs to a musical dynasty of impossibly gifted singer-songwriters. Her family tree (brother and folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright, sister-in-law Kate McGarrigle, nephew Rufus Wainwright, nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche) reads like a who’s who of contemporary folk music. With 10 original CD releases to her credit, Sloan is welcomed–-year after year–-into the musical classrooms of such prestigious song camps as Richard Thompson’s Frets and Refrains, The Swannanoa Gathering, SummerSongs, WUMB Radio’s Summer Acoustic Music Week, & their Winter Acoustic Music Weekend, The Moab Folk Camp, The Cape Cod Songwriting Retreat, and The emPower Music & Arts Song School. Won’t you come join us for this special evening with Sloan Wainwright! Joining Sloan will be Glen Roethel on guitar, and our own Mary Gordon Hall on vocals. Mary Gordon Hall is also opening the show.
