Sloan Wainwright performs at 6 on the Square
OXFORD – On Saturday at 7:30 p.m., 6 On The Square welcomes the outstanding and highly original, Sloan Wainwright. Sloan Wainwright is a compelling performer best known for her powerfully rich contralto voice, intensely personal lyrics, and an innovative approach to song. Hard to categorize, her musical style melds the best of pop, folk, jazz, and blues to create a soulful hybrid.
Sloan Wainwright’s musical performances are forceful and uplifting, enveloping the audience the moment she begins to sing. Sloan will be accompanied by Stephen Murphy on guitars and Cadence Carroll on percussion. Sloan’s stage persona is self-described as, “…we take our audience on a journey; we come in full tilt and do our show.”
Born into a highly acclaimed musical family (youngest sister to Loudon Wainwright, auntie to Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright) Sloan’s teenage years were largely influenced by a constant flow of diverse artists, writers and musicians. Performing came naturally but she developed her own unique style.
In the mid 90’s Sloan began to collaborate with guitarist Stephen Murphy. From their instant creative synergy, a band was put together and within no time, Sloan released a self-titled debut CD in 1996 – ‘Sloan Wainwright’. This first CD was a critical success and introduced the music to a national audience.
The New York Times wrote, “Her lyrics are not tough stances on a woman’s experience, but rather sensitive explorations of childhood and the poetry of life.”
The Washington Post said, “Her songs, like her voice cast a lasting spell, at times drawing the listener into a world of unquestionably heartfelt emotion.”
Sloan’s eighth, most recent CD was released in 2008, Rediscovery - Sloan Wainwright. 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.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 until the day of the show; $15 the day of the show. For further information, call 843-OTS6 (6876) or visit www.6onthesquare.org
Don’t miss future musical performances by North Sea Gas – Oct. 10 and (debuting music from her new album) Marjorie Thompson – Oct. 30. Both shows are at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
The next Open Mic night, every third Thursday night, is Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and the next Drumming Circle is Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.
