2004 Day Stage Performers
back
Jen
Sygit (website)
To hear Jen Sygit sing reminds
us that old souls do live in young minds. Whether delving
into mournful blues tunes, haunting folk ballads or rousing
bluegrass numbers, Jen's rapidly growing repertoire of
original songs has surpassed many with its sophisticated
lyrics and intense emotion. Bluesy, jazzy, folksy at its
best, this is rich reflective, upbeat music. Jen's songs
are as comfortable and compelling as her voice is sultry
and warm.

Sarah
Cleaver (website)
A uniquely beautiful voice matched
by powerful lyrics, Sarah delivers a refreshing sound
filled with personal angst, truth, and compassion. She
has a fierce wit that will leave your sides aching with
laughter and a presence that will leave you wanting more.
Look for her and Kate Peterson on tour in the mid-west
and beyond. Also check out her debut CD "From Where
I Stand" and so much more at www.sarahcleaver.com.

Dana
Scott
Dana has been playing and writing
music for 15 years, first as a solo artist in and around
Kalamazoo with participation in Take Back the Night, YWCA
fundraisers, and Day Stage appearances with Women In The
Arts. Dana's music style is all over the board. Currently
she is focusing on all original material, but musical
influences have been Tracy Chapman, Joan Armatrading,
Patsy Cline, Melissa Etheridge and Elvis...! Check out
Dana's first CD, "soul survivor," featuring
the irreverent "F*&K U" song!

Lazy
Sunday (website)
The girls of Lazy Sunday are far from what their name
may suggest. Susan, Kristen and Liz have been working
hard to produce not only an instrumentally charged sound,
but also an overall true depiction of their love and passion
for music. Their raw style of performing only supports
their innate roots of creativity that grows strong between
the members.
Carmen
Paradise (website)
The laid back yet in your face musical styling of Carmen
Electra Paradise offers an escape from the confines of society
without the harsh aggressiveness of much of today's music.
She does this by combining very skilled and full acoustic
guitar rhythms with lyrics that offer a mixture of personal
story and political ideas.
Kate
Peterson (website)
"I adore kate peterson and her mellifluous, aching,
gravelly voice. Kate transforms, nonchalantly, mundane stories
into strummingly sensual, powerful songs. They make my heart
skip a beat every time." - alix olson
Lucinda
Lehmkuhle
I’ve supported women artists for years, from Our
Living Room, Chicken Stock and Circe to financial help getting talents I love recorded. Mean
while, I’ve written music and occasionally performed
with the security blanket of “real” musician
friends. This time, its just me, my guitar and some moments
put to music.
Susan
Harris
What can I tell you? I turned 40 this year and for my mid
life crisis I bought a house! I have been writing poetry
for over 20 years and maybe now I've gotten it right.
Barb
Barton & Friends
"The acute, clairvoyant sensibility of Barb Barton's
music also has something of the vigilante about it - there
is a great sense of being wronged in her music - whether
it be herself, or "us". Yet like those who precede
her in the genre - Ronnie Gilbert, Holly Near, Kitty Donohoe
- she sings beautifully of being wronged." -Metro
Times, Detroit
