An outstanding and highly original singer, Sloan Wainwright is a compelling performer best known for her rich contralto voice, intensely personal lyrics, and an innovative approach to song. Hard to categorize, her musical style melds the best of pop, folk, jazz, and blues to create a soulful hybrid. Her personal appearances are forceful and uplifting, her stage persona self-described as "we take our audience on a journey, we come in full tilt and do our show."
      Born into a highly acclaimed musical family (youngest sister to Loudon Wainwright, auntie to Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright) Sloan's teenage years were largely influenced by a constant flow of diverse artists, writers and musicians. She learned to play the piano and watched her brother Loudon, 11 years older -- and the father of Rufus and Martha -- become successful. Writing and performing, throughout the Greenwich Village hipster scene, Sloan developed her own unique style. She says "There was an effortlessness about the flow of creativity at that stage of my life. I didn't think, I was just fearlessly flowing."
      Sloan is an independent artist making grown-up girl music in the truest sense - a rare, one of a kind voice that speaks deeply to our humanity and leaves us forever changed.
      "Her melodies are the aural equivalent of smoky, tantalizing aromas emanating from a soul kitchen" -Dirty Linen
      "...a masterful amalgam of folk, rock, jazz, blues and an occasional tincture of funk, discovering her music is like finding a treasure... " -The Boston Globe
      "Her songs, like her voice, cast a lasting spell, at times drawing the listener into a world of unquestionably heartfelt emotion." -The Washington Post
      "Ms. Wainwright has a powerful, earth mother voice that she pours into unexpectedly sensitive blends of folk, jazz, blues and funk." -Footlights, The New York Times
