Sally T and special guest Rob Hay bring their music to the Snoring Sasquatch with a concert at 7:30 p.m. May 12.
Born and raised in the Australian tropics, Sally T’s love of music and travel has found her a new home in the Slocan Valley. Having performed in a variety of musical acts from funk bands to folk duos, this singer-songwriter has performed in cities and small towns, from theatres and clubs to street corners across the country.
Sally T’s latest musical endeavor is driven by the firm belief that, through music, we can create strong communities and positive social change. Her original songs are a folksy fusion of roots and old-time jazz, well rounded and strongly driven by her warm, bluesy vocals.
Sprinkled with improvised jazz scats and beat boxing, Sally T’s disarming performance will naturally pull an audience in to participate. Her lyrics, inspired by natural beauty and the human condition, move between poetically raw and playfully sweet, and are often delivered with a cheeky smile.
“The new Slocan Valley singer-songwriter Sally T creates terrific folk/jazz/bluesy songs,” said Bonnie Baker, host of The Times They Are A Changing on Kootenay Co-op Radio. “Her singing, with her dynamic vocal gifts, includes incredible jazzy scats and beat boxing … reminds one of some of the great women jazz singers from our past. Sally T is one Australian import whose presence has already brightened up our region for the better.”
Sally T will be performing at the Snoring Sasquatch with Rob Hay, a dynamic singer-songwriter, hailing from Owen Sound, Ont. Hay’s original compositions are grounded in folk and country and infused with hints of gospel, blues and roots.
Together, Sally T and Hay put on a show full of toe-tapping melodies and soul-shaking harmonies that you won’t forget.
