Event
Jane Siberry
After years of tracking Canadian singer Jane Siberry's U.S. appearances in anticipation of landing a performance in Humboldt County, the folks at the Arcata Playhouse's efforts have been rewarded. Siberry will make a special appearance at the Playhouse on Wednesday, November 5. The evening will feature guest local pianist Tim Randles.
More than thirty years after her first musical release, Toronto native Jane Siberry is renowned as one of contemporary music's most creative and innovative artists - with eleven major recordings, her own independent label, and the acclaim of fans and peers alike. Interview Magazine called her a "superstar of the imagination with a passion for the truth." In a word, The London Times said Siberry is "Spellbinding" and Melody Maker a "Genius."
Siberry's songs have been covered by numerous artists, with particular success by k.d lang. She has collaborated with Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Emmylou Harris, Joe Jackson, the Indigo Girls and more. Wim Wenders included her "Calling All Angels" in the film Until the End of
the World, and the song has since been used in Pay It Forward, Six Feet Under, Deadwood and more.
Siberry learned piano from the age of four, predominantly teaching herself and developing her own concepts of notation and structure.
An early album went gold and established her as a Canadian pop star and Siberry began to receive awards and international attention. Her unique musical vision caught the ear of Eno in 1993 and he produced tracks on her album When I Was A Boy. The song "Calling All Angels" (a duet with k.d. lang) became her biggest commercial success and garnered her worldwide acclaim.
In 1996, Siberry formed her own label, the internet-based Sheeba Records, and has released numerous albums including a live trilogy at the Bottom Line in New York; Hush, a
collection of American and Celtic folk songs and spirituals; and City, collaborations with Peter Gabriel, Hector Zazou, Joe Jackson, Nigel Kennedy and others.
In 2002, Rhino Records produced Love Is Everything, an anthology and tribute to Siberry's work. She was honored by the Canada Council as outstanding artist in the field of music with the 2005 Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award. In 2006 she had her debut concert at Carnegie Hall as part of the Zankel series.
Her disinclination to follow fads, trends and fashions has been Siberry's signature from the earliest days of her musical career. Her unending desire to find and describe the essence of human experience has led her through numerous musical inventions in a multitude of forms, earning her the passionate loyalty of music-lovers world-wide.
Later this year Siberry will embark on her first tour with an ensemble in six years, visiting Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles and New York for a short residency in each city. That tour will kick off with a solo performance in Humboldt County at the ever eclectic performance venue and community arts center, the Arcata Playhouse.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the show at 8 p.m. The Playhouse is located at 1251 9th Street in Arcata's Creamery District.
