Event information

Sarah Jane Scouten is a Canadian folk and Americana songwriter, who has been nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards. She opened for Suzie Ungerleider at The Ginistry in 2022, and since then her return has been much requested.

“An agile voice, ruminative songwriting, and love for classic country, indie pop, and everything in between.” - American Songwriter.

Her songs pay their respects to 60s and 70s country songwriters Willie Nelson, John Prine, Bobby Gentry and weave in British folk revival elements with a continuous thread leading back to her roots in bluegrass and old time music. After a transformative four years, training as a herbalist in the hills of southwest Scotland, Sarah Jane has released her fifth album Turned to Gold (Light Organ Records). Sarah Jane offers a new depth and solidity as a songwriter. With producer Johnny Payne's (The Shilohs) gift for modern vintage arrangement, this is destined to be your next favourite road trip album.

Praise for Turned to Gold:
“An unendingly lovely record” - The Georgia Straight
“The art of subtlety at its best” - The Spill Magazine
“Pure vocals and poetic turns of phrase make this a winner” - Billboard Canada

Opening the evening will be Anna Howie. Having worked as a session singer and backing vocalist for 25 years Anna decided it was time to release her own music. Her music straddles Americana/Folk/Country genres earning her the description ‘Sassy..endearing puts you in mind of the wonderful Dolly Parton' Music Republic Magazine

Anna's first solo EP ‘An Idiots Guide to Love’ recorded in 2019 in Nashville and produced by Grammy Award Winner Bob Britt went straight to Number 5 in the UK country charts.

In March 2022 Anna released her debut album ‘The Friday Night Club’, described as ‘Americana with a very British twist'. ‘ The Friday Night Club’ was released across all platforms on the 25th March on the Absolute Label (Sony/Universal).
