Totally absorbed in interviewing M. Brownrigg, Trini forgot to provide us some all-important information concerning the inescapable Bon Iver. Some extra tour dates in Europe accompanied by the talented Sarah Siskind, as well as a video available on YouTube, are sufficient matter to add another layer.
But it would be quite arrogant to mention this in passing and to not go into Ms Siskind’s universe a little more. Chiefly because we count among the fans of this songwriter from North Carolina some big names like Alison Krauss, Ron Sexsmith and Peter Bradley Adams…
“Sarah Siskind’s music is not easily explained or contained. She’s a singer and songwriter based in Nashville and grounded in Appalachian roots, but one who transcends category with a beguiling fusion of the traditional and the modern. Whether solo, fronting an electric band or in her harmony-laden side project Old Black Kettle, Sarah creates emotionally charged soundscapes that consistently delight and surprise even her long-time fans.”
Four albums to her credit, of which the first one was recorded at age 14, Sarah announced by the end of Summer, the forthcoming release of her next cd, still is in its mastering phase. So, you will have understood I had to be satisfied with the digital version of her latest double EP : ‘Studio . Living Room’. But what a satisfaction indeed!
If the original ‘Lovin’s For Fools’ version is of a rare beauty ; both Studio songs and Living Room ones deserved your full attention. Thinking Christmas !

My love and devotion to Bon Iver is more than even I can handle. I was planning on being in Dublin the first week of December and wanted to see them both perform but I won’t be able to make it until the second week of December. I’m taking a road trip with the Guggenheim Grotto, woot woot!.. thanks for the post Olly.
