Sarah Yeo - The Music of Joan Baez. A 'Co-Promotional' Event
One of the UK's high rising songwriters. Sarah Yeo. performs material in her own "beautiful voice" (BBC) from Joan's early career from the first recording, 'Harvard Square' and onward through her lengthy journey to date, telling pivotal stories and singing key songs from the Newport Festival days, her Years in Nashville, activism around the world, her relationship both on and off the stage with Bob Dylan, and her love of recording just great songs.
The set list takes note of the current political climate and includes self penned songs 'Diamonds and Rust', 'The Winds of the Old Days', Dylan greats such as 'Love Is Just A Four Letter Word', 'There But For Fortune', 'Farewell Angelina' and the wonderful catalogue from songwriters Stevie Wonder, Phil Ochs, Janis Ian and not forgetting the early Folk covers, 'The Banks of the Ohio', 'House of the Rising Sun' and many more hits. Sarah also delves into the Spanish language repertoire Joan loved so much.
Sarah's 'warm rich voice' with sweet higher notes, lends itself perfectly for this special evening of songs and stories, on this the hometown date of the tour.
As Sarah learns more about Miss Baez's life and career, she feels she really can relate to her in many ways, making the project a very personal and inspiring experience.
