Fantastic Show
by Rockox on 2011-11-14West End Cultural Centre - WinnipegSarah Slean played Winnipeg in support of her new double-album "Land & Sea" and it was a great show. She played most, if not all of the tracks from the new album, plus a few selections from previous albums. Backed by a rock-solid band, including the incredible Karen Kosowski on keyboards, guitar and vocals, the songs sounded terrific. Sarah's quirky, arty stage banter is pretty fun, though the person I was with did admit it got a bit tiring after awhile. My only real complaint is that I had hoped Sarah would've played a few more songs from the "Day One" album, especially personal favourites such as "Lucky Me" and "Vertigo." But that's not the tour she's on, so I get it. All in all, it was a great show. And Karen Kosowski, man. She really puts the polish on these songs. If you're a fan of Sarah Slean, especially her new album, you should get out and see this show.
