Sarah Slean: Spreading love like a terrorist

Thursday night was the Sarah Slean + Ron Sexsmith show at the Danforth Music Hall. Slean was beautiful and far more entertaining than the slightly sick Sexsmith. Shot! (aka Wong) says it ever better than I could have: "The last time, she had just emerged from the woods and her charming eccentricity seemed to turn more into frightened lunacy." On Thursday, she was glowing and vocally, amazing. My friend JC (no, not THE JC), says that good performers are either one of two things a) they're just brilliant, get on stage and do their thing with little or no banter or b) they're slightly eccentric and have strange banter in between songs.
While initially, I wasn't really impressed with her latest album Day One, I can confidently say, I think Sarah Slean is both of these things. She'll headline her own tour around March 2005.
