Singer-songwriter Jane Siberry is one of the artists appearing Saturday, May 14, at Bluebird North All-Star Edition, Koerner Hall, Toronto. Her latest release is With What Shall I Keep Warm.

WHEN Radiohead self-released their In Rainbows album as a "pay what you want" download in late 2007, they were hailed as revolutionaries – a hugely successful band who were challenging all the rules about how the music industry should operate, and taking the power out of the hands of major labels.

It was a good story, except that Jane Siberry – a world-renowned Canadian singer-songwriter who has duetted with KD Lang, had her music featured in several Hollywood movies and released well over a dozen albums – did it first.

Täydellinen taiteellinen vapaus ja riippumattomuus levy-yhtiöistä. Ei rahasta, vaan musiikin tekemisen ilosta. Suora kosketus faneihin, ilman välikäsiä.

Lukemattomista artistihaastatteluista tuttuja itsepetoksia, puhki kulutettuja kliseitä, loputonta posetiivin pyöritystä.

Clifton sez, "Canadian recording artist Jane Siberry has made all of her recordings (16 complete albums) available for free download, with the words: "DOWNLOAD ALL SIBERRY MUSIC HERE. IT IS FREE, A GIFT FROM JANE. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. AND 'PAY IT FORWARD' TO OTHERS."

Fantasiförlösande singer-songwriter. Kanadensiska sångerskan Jane Siberry må ha ändrat sitt namn till Issa, men hon berättar fortfarande historier som ingen annan. Hennes egensinniga kompositioner är som kortfilmer, ögonblicksbeskrivningar fulla av detaljer som ingen annan lägger märke till. Drömmar, tankar, situationer. Alla ämnen är relevanta här!Dragon dreams är en typisk, varierad kompott men flera sånger binds samman av en översvallande positivism

Le week-end pascal réserve son lot de surprises aux enfants qui s'aventurent dans les jardins. Mais à Guilers, près de Brest, une trentaine de mélomanes chanceux ont eu leur compte de magie dès le vendredi soir : l'artiste canadienne Jane Siberry s'est matérialisée sous leurs yeux, dans le salon d'un couple de la commune.

Jane Siberry radiated benevolence — a sly, purposeful, savvy benevolence — at Joe’s Pub on Friday night. She sang and spoke about beauty, love, harmony, understanding, grace and magic — actually, about a dog named Magic, and walking him through a city full of mundane and miraculous apparitions.
