Women's Singer/Songwriter Series SARAH MACDOUGALL with special guest ... JOANNA CHAPMAN-SMITH - SARAH'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!
Sarah MacDougall has made quite a splash in the last few years. This up and coming alt.country/ indie folksinger has been everywhere and anywhere with her heartfelt songs and original style and lyrics. Sarah has toured Canada, UK and Scandinavia several times and there isn’t anywhere she has played where she hasn’t left a mark on her listener, and has often been called a favorite at festivals and venues, and she has been getting rave reviews all around for her latest c.d., Across the Atlantic, including 4-star reviews in Q magazine, The Irish Times, to name only a few. Sarah most often tours solo or with trusted friend and virtuoso lapsteel player Tim Tweedale (Headwater, Viper Central). She is currently working on her upcoming album, which should be available for the world’s ears in 2010. www.myspace.com/sarahmacdougall

Joanna Chapman-Smith is a powerful young woman who has been making waves on the folk scene since 2002. Alone on stage, sitting atop a percussion rig made out of a suitcase and outnumbered by instruments, she charms unassuming crowds into singing along and letting themselves be carried away into her world that questions right and wrong, mind and body, permanence and impermanence. Joanna also holds a BFA in music composition, working frequently with contemporary choreographers, touring theatrical productions and live circus performances. Joanna has also performed and recorded with such acclaimed artists as CR Avery, Sarah MacDougall, Ken Whiteley, Jonas Shandel. She is currently working - with the support of the Canada Council - on a solo show she will tour in the fall of 2010.www.myspace.com/joannacs
