For our latest field recording, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the talents of Sarah Siskind, who plays Joe’s Pub tomorrow (Wednesday, July 15). The Nashville singer-songwriter shot to attention last year after being praised enthusiastically by Justin Vernon (Mr. Bon Iver). In fact, Vernon said that Siskind’s music had changed his life—and he covered her beautiful song, “Lovin’s for Fools,” to prove it. Sure enough, Siskind is a really great songwriter, combining directness with exquisite nuance; but it’s her voice that really gets you. Siskind sang a cappella for TONY in Tompkins Square Park, in the rain, with a chorus of barking dogs. The song is “Go,” and though it sounds like a traditional blues song, she wrote it herself—you can hear it on her new album, Say It Louder. Let us know if you get goose bumps at the end too.
This is wonderfully beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
