Sally Spring – Nov. 17, 2012
Saturday, Nov. 17th – 7:30 pm: Sally Spring
The press, peers and the BBC agree on one thing-Sally Spring is the “real deal.” Accompanied by her husband, the eclectic, rhythmic Ted Lyons on resonator, Spring’s voice is her own “like that of Emmylou Harris, Natalie Merchant and Tracy Chapman” (Das Rock, Germany), paints an Americana musical portrait that “reaches deep inside, is beautifully layered, has something to say and generates emotional heat that is white hot.” (Americana UK). She weaves into her own tapestry English folk‐rock, old time music, along with touches of everything from classic folk to country to blues to pop. Sally’s “gorgeous alto” (Sing Out!), first-rate compositions (No Depression) and phrasing give her an emotional complexity that is mesmerizing. Her latest CD, “Made Of Stars” charted #1 in Europe on Americana radio. “Sally’s a treasure!” (Gene Parsons, The Byrds)
