These Are The Songs That I Sing When I’m Sad

Show Info

This season we’re holding a mini–SPARK Festival which includes These Are The Songs That I Sing When I’m Sad and Belfry 101 Live.

“With equal parts performance, concert, round-table discussion and musical master class, Miller takes audience members on an emotional and musical journey unlike any they’ve been on before.” North Huron News

“Miller’s presentation of this information is so casual that it never feels like a lecture; it’s more like good dinner-party conversation. She encourages the audience to share their favourite sad songs, and there’s an uncensored quality to the group’s reactions—which include a good deal of laughter—to her stories.” Georgia Straight

These Are The Songs That I Sing When I’m Sad is an intimate and joyous performance for one singer and her audience. It explores the songs people turn to when they’re sad, the songs that they play to soothe their blues or lift them up out of the depths. Jane sings and tells stories about songs that play this role in her own life, and then invites the audience to share the songs that they sing (or play or listen to) when they’re sad. It’s a rare opportunity to hear a superb singer up close and personal as she delves into the link between deep emotions and the musical elements that make sad songs so addictive.
