Jane Siberry

image

From her beginnings as an early-’80s folkie to her ambient, near-performance-art recordings, Jane Siberry has pushed the boundaries pop music ever forward with her continual risk taking. The owner of her own record label, Sheeba — devoted to "All Things Siberry" — the 40-something Toronto-based musician is back with a new effort, City. This 15-track record, available solely through www.janesiberry.com, is a collection of some of her more offbeat recordings and collaborations, including a solo version of "Calling All Angels," and tracks recorded with folks like French avant-garde composer Hector Zazou, klezmer artist Frank London and British composer Morgan Fisher. Onstage, the witty Siberry — touring solo with just a guitar and piano — is as challenging as she is charming. Just ask anyone who ended up in an altered state at her magnificent Christmas show at The Painted Bride four years ago.
