Sloan Wainwright
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sloan Wainwright is an artist and member of the American independent music scene. Wainwright is best known for her intensely personal lyrics, innovative approach to song and relationship with brother Loudon Wainwright III.
Her musical style consists of a combination of folk, rock, jazz, and blues, an approach which owes itself to her time writing and performing throughout the Greenwich Village.
The Sloan Wainwright Band released a self-titled debut CD in 1996 -- Sloan Wainwright. The CD was a critical success and introduced the music to a national audience. A second release in 1998 (a tribute in memory of her mother, Martha) entitled From Where You Are. The third band release -- in early 2001 -- The Song Inside is a pivotal work in its merging of traditionally based folk music and more eccentric, creatively evolved variations - sometimes suggesting a stylistic crossroad of Bonnie Raitt and Kate Bush ([1]).
[edit] Family
Sloan Wainwright is the youngest sister of Loudon Wainwright III, and aunt to Canadian-American musicians Martha Wainwright and Rufus Wainwright.
