Singer Jane Siberry Announces UK Tour

Jane Siberry the Toronto born singer-songwriter, is renowned as one of contemporary music's most creative, innovative artists - with eleven major recordings, her own independent label and the acclaim of fans and peers alike.

This September, Siberry returns to the UK after her last sell-out concerts three years ago, with a 12 date UK headlining tour that includes dates in Dublin (September 9), Edinburgh (September 16), Birmingham (September 25) and London (October 3)

Siberry's critically acclaimed work has spanned three and a half decades with twenty critically acclaimed CD's, including the hits Calling All Angels, Love Is Everything, It Can't Rain All The Time, Bound By The Beauty, Everything Reminds Me Of My Dog and One More Colour.

She has also collaborated on records with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Nigel Kennedy, Indigo Girls and Joe Jackson. Numerous artists too have covered her songs, with particular success by k.d lang.

Siberry has also contributed songs for a variety of films and TV projects, including her now-classic Calling All Angels duet with k.d. lang which she wrote for Wim Wenders' film Until The End Of The World and which has also been used in Pay It Forward, Six Feet Under, Deadwood and more. Her song It Can't Rain All The Time was written for the film The Crow.

In 2006, after making more than a dozen albums, the majority of which were released on Reprise/Warner Bros, Jane changed her name to Issa, sold her belongings, kept one guitar for tours and closed the record label she has run for 10 years. (She was among the first to institute a 'self-determined pricing policy' for selling recordings online.) In 2010, she stopped touring the usual way, eschewing the grind of clubs and impersonal transportation for private "salons," in which patrons hired her to play shows for 20 or 30 people, throughout Europe and elsewhere.

She has however recently returned to clubs and performing arts centres and continues to write, record and tour extensively and has re-appropriated her original name Jane Siberry, because 'it was time.'

A new recording, tentatively titled, 'Angels Bend Closer' is set to be released in November this year.
