Sloan Wainwright is simply unique! She is at ease in variety of American musical styles --- pop, folk,jazz and blues--- all held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto.

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. Sloan brings original songs from her most recent album, Bright Side of a Rainy Day, to this performance, as well as her interpretations of songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and others.

Sloan will be accompanied by her long-time guitarist and collaborator Stephen Murphy for this performance.

Advance sale tickets are $25 through Friday, March 6th at www.sundaystreet.org with tickets at the door for $30 (cash only).

Matt Ratner, the director of the new Billy Crystal movie, STANDING UP, FALLING DOWN, and Vince Ebert, who is starring in the show: SEXY SCIENCE: SERIOUS HUMOR at the SoHo Playhouse are Tom Needham's exclusive guests this Thursday at 6 pm on WUSB's SOUNDS OF FILM.

STANDING UP, FALLING DOWN is about a struggling stand-up comedian who moves back home to Long Island with his tail tucked between his legs, and strikes up an unlikely friendship with his eccentric dermatologist. The movie, written by Peter Horse, was recently featured at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Vince Ebert, physicist and comedian, is a big hit in his native Germany. After his 2018 sold out debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, he's on the road to export his unique sense of German humor to NYC. SEXY SCIENCE: SERIOUS HUMOR is a witty and inspiring performance about skeptical thinking, fake news, and the secret of German cars.
