Sarah Slean is scheduled to perform at the Toronto Bluesfest on July 24, 2004 at 9:30pm.

This is her most recent live show since her gig with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

With Simon Wilcox and Martina Sobara on the list just before Sarah, it promises to be a great night.

According to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's publications, Sarah's new album is to be called "Day One." Perhaps Sarah is still unsure?

The new album is rumored to be titled "Baroness" and she has apparently finished her photo-prep by the looks of the new professional photo of her found on the promotion for her upcoming set with the Toronto Sympphony Orchestra on May 29th. She has confirmed donation, for the second year, of a few signed prints of her artwork to the auction.

Expect to pay quite a bit for her short appearance though, tickets to the TSO at Sonic Bloom start at around $100 CAD. But, to hear Sarah Slean play with an entire symphony orchestra, it might just be worth it.

Now, if only Sarah would tell us more about this elusive record that is due out sometime this year.
