Issa (formerly Jane Siberry), Performs at The Livery in Goderich on November 5th!

Singer-Songwriter, Issa (formerly Jane Siberry), Performs at
The Livery in Goderich on November 5th

One of Canada’s most creative and respected singer-songwriters will be performing at The Livery Theatre in Goderich on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Issa, who performed as Jane Siberry until 2006, will be performing songs from her new album With What Shall I Keep Warm?, and some old favourites at the concert that kicks off at 8:30 PM. Issa, who had international success as Jane Siberry in the 1980’s and 90’s, chose to follow a new and uniquely individual path in her life and music by changing her name and giving away all of her worldly possessions in 2006.

Tickets for the Issa concert on November 5, 2009 at The Livery in Goderich are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased at: Ernie King Music in Goderich; The Livery in Goderich; Pianovations in Blyth; and The Village Bookshop in Bayfield.

Siberry was studying music and microbiology at the University of Guelph when she released her debut album, Jane Siberry in 1981. The album was relatively successful for an independent release, but the follow-up, No Borders Here, was critically acclaimed and included the underground hit “Mimi on the Beach.” The Speckless Sky (1985) was a commercial and critical success and subsequently followed with the release of her next two albums, The Walking (1988) and Bound by the Beauty (1989).

In 1993, Siberry worked with Michael Brook and Brian Eno on When I Was a Boy. The album’s most famous song, the KD Lang duet “Calling All Angels,” first appeared in Wim Wenders’ film Until the End of the World, and was later re-recorded for the Pay it Forward movie soundtrack. KD Lang would go on to release two more of Jane Siberry’s songs; “Love is Everything” and “The Valley,” on her tribute album to Canadian music, Song from the 49th Parallel.

In 2008 she released Dragon Dreams, her first album under the Issa name. Her new album, With What Shall I Keep Warm?, is slated to be released in late October of 2009.

Issa concert tickets are $20.00 for adults and $15.00 for seniors and students. The show begins at 8:30 PM with special guest artists from the Noted CD project. The concert is presented by Heritage and Culture Partnership with additional support from Viewpoint B&B in Goderich and Pianovations in Blyth.
