Sarah playing @ film festival - review

Show Review:

Source: Tara, The Coast, Halifax Weekly, September 15.

Today was a stellar day the Canadian Music Cafe, which included slots from Andy Stochansky and Jully Black. Sarah Slean -- who offered Jill Barber one of her comp drink tickets when the bartender charged Jill $12 for a Caesar -- put on a lovely, unaccompanied set of songs mostly from Day One, including "Lucky Me," "Vertigo," "Pilgrim" and "Your Wish is My Wish." Acutely tuned to the day's purpose, she chided the crowd to "turn the fake button off." (Similarly, Jian Gomeshi used his hosting to gig to chastise chatty schmoozers in between sets, which is probably why they ignored him when he tried to drum up some support for locked out Ceebers.)

Update, September 13
Although you might not be able to get into this show, you do have a good chance of hearing it.

Sassafraz is also hosting the Canadian Music Cafe. To get in, you have to be a pass holder, but Rossa says he’s keeping the windows open so people outside can hear the music. Artists such as Steven Page, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ron Sexsmith and Sarah Slean are playing, hoping that filmmakers will come, then use their music in movie soundtracks.
