An American music pedigree

Sloan Wainwright is thrilled to be back at Unison Arts! There’s lots to catch up on! Sloan will be joined by Glen Roethel on guitar and Cadence Carroll on percussion. Together, they will take the audience on a journey through Sloan’s original material – old songs, new songs and works in progress and of course unpack some cover tunes. The evening promises to be joyous and uplifting. Harmonies guaranteed!
Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright, consistently demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical styles — pop, folk, jazz and blues — held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto, with the end result being a unique and soulful hybrid.

Her family tree (brother and folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright, nephew Rufus Wainwright, nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche) reads like a who’s who of contemporary folk music. Sloan’s incredible gift is not only her unique songwriting ability but also her dramatically voiced rendition of original songs.

Unison Arts Center presents An Evening With Sloan Wainright on Saturday, May 11 at 8 p.m. Admission is $25. Tickets may be obtained at unisonarts.org/event/an-evening-with-sloan-wainwright or call 255-1559.

Unison Arts Center is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz.
