"New music from a Canadian original"
ISSA (say "eeee-sah") is the artist formerly known as Jane Siberry. This Canadian iconoclast 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. The music she makes is now given away for free or for what the listener considers a fair price. What hasn't changed? ISSA still offers one of the most absorbing concerts around, with music ranging from Nat King Cole to Canadiana to originals that seem to come from deep personal spaces. "Her songs were consistently worth listening to closely," MassLive.com reported after ISSA's recent concert at the Iron Horse café in Massachusetts. Issa released "Dragon Dreams," her debut album under that name, in the fall of 2008, describing it as "the first of a story told in three parts . . . about love, nature and social change." She comes to Michigan with a brand new release, the second part of the trilogy.
