Nashville, Tenn., — Sarah Siskind and husband Travis Book (The Infamous Stringdusters) are ready to end your Black Friday with a deal that’ll be hard to pass up. After you’ve emptied your wallet fighting the mobs at the mall, head down to the 12th South Taproom this Friday, November 27 for a free show. Siskind and Book get underway at 9:00 p.m. The 12th South Taproom is located at 2318 12th Ave South in Nashville, Tenn.
About Sarah Siskind
Sarah Siskind is seen as one of Nashville’s most eclectic songwriters with songs covered by Alison Krauss, Randy Travis, Bon Iver, the Infamous Stringdusters, April Verch and more. Krauss released both Siskind songs as singles, and in 2008, her rendition of “Simple Love” was nominated for a Grammy.
This year, Sarah has stepped into the artist spotlight with her own album Say It Louder (Red Request Records/Thirty Tigers).
Although she has been making records since the tender age of 14, (including the 2002 release Covered which featured world-renowned guitarist Bill Frisell), Say It Louder is making the biggest splash among fans and critics alike. Al Kooper (Bob Dylan, Lynard Skynard) raves: “This might be the Tapestry of the millennium!” Bon Iver, the indie-rock sensation who has been covering Siskind’s material live, states “Sarah’s music changed my life.” Bob Boilen of NPR was so crazy about “Say it Louder” that he featured it on NPR’s “All Songs Considered”. An invitation to perform on his exclusive video-cast “Tiny Desk Concert” series soon followed, and in June, the title track “Say it Louder” was named NPR’s Song of the Day.
Travis Book plays bass and sings in the acoustic-powerhouse group, The Infamous Stringdusters, winner of IBMA’s “Emerging Artist of the Year“, “Album of the Year“, and “Song of the Year” in 2007. A native of Colorado, he and Siskind wed in 2008.
