Issa (say “eeee-sah”), the artist formerly known as Jane Siberry, is internationally renowned for her angelic, filmic, and wonderfully compelling music. From her thirteen recordings, Issa has garnered five Juno nominations, gold sales status, and several People’s Choice Awards in her native Canada. Her performances across Europe, Japan, and Australia have been called “heart stopping” and “spellbinding” by the press.
Issa has recorded with Bryan Ferry, K.D. Lang, Indigo Girls, and Peter Gabriel. Her Brian Eno collaboration, When I Was A Boy, brought to life the song “Calling All Angels,” which appeared in Wim Wender’s film, Until The End Of The World. This song also appeared in the soundtrack for the film, Pay It Forward, and an episode of the series, Six Feet Under.
An ever-changing iconoclast, Issa recently gave up her birth name, her Toronto home, her car, her electric guitar, and just about all of her possessions, including the masters of her recordings as Jane Siberry. (She’s keeping the Manolo shoes and her collection of Miles Davis records, however.) The music she makes is given away for free or at a listener-determined fair price (www.sheeba.ca ).
Issa offers absorbing concerts with music that comes from deep personal spaces. This rare Cultch performance will include pianist Tim Ray, bassist Riche Brown, and special guest artist Adrienne Pierce.
"Her songs were consistently worth listening to closely," MassLive.com reported after Issa's recent concert at the Iron Horse café in Massachusetts.
"A superstar of the imagination with a passion for the truth." (Interview Magazine)
Issa will perform November 23 & 24, at 8 pm at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, located at 1895 Venables Street (at Victoria Drive). For more information, visit www.thecultch.com.
Tickets are $36 (PLUS SERVICE CHARGES) and are available through Ticketmaster at 604-280-3311 or visit www.ticketmaster.ca.
