(PARK RIDGE, NJ) -- Sloan Wainwright returns to The Acoustic Café on Saturday, March 28 at 8pm. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door, proceeds will benefit the OLM Vallieres, Haiti scholarship fund. Special guests The Levins celebrate their new CD, Trust, with a showcase set of songs.
Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright consistently demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical styles - pop, folk, jazz and blues - held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto. With the end result being a unique and soulful hybrid. Sloan's incredible gift is not only her unique songwriting ability but also her dramatically voiced rendition of original songs.
Her family tree (brother and folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright, nephew Rufus Wainwright, nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche) reads like a who's who of contemporary folk music. With a solid and impressive discography of 7 original CD releases to her credit, Sloan continues to write, sing and perform live. In addition, Sloan has written numerous musical compositions for theater and dance and teaches at many of the best-known master songwriter series and workshops.
The Acoustic Cafe takes palce at Our Lady of Mercy Academy, 25 Fremont Avenue in Park Ridge NJ. For more information visit www.cafeacoustic.org
