The Sisterhood is a remarkable project which celebrates the lives and achievements of twelve female singer songwriters, the women – the shape changers – who altered the course of musical history.
A representation of Sarah Janes’s roots, inspirations, and indefatigable love of contemporary music-making and its iconic pioneers The Sisterhood, Volume 2 celebrates twelve female stars who dominated the singing and songwriting of the 20th century – Amy Winehouse, Big Mama Thornton, Bonnie Raitt, Debbie Harry, Etta James, Janis Ian, Joan Armatrading, Patti Smith, Peggy Seeger, Sinéad O’Connor and Tracy Chapman.
The Sisterhood is a labour of love – a hard-won new triumph in an already prolific life at the cutting edge of contemporary music-making.
Sarah Jane and Tony have stepped up to another creative level to create a richly referential, highly complex and strikingly original collection, clarifying the story of women in popular song.
“It’s the best project I’ve ever been part of”, says Sarah Jane with the passionate felicity of the true artist to the latest incarnation of her creativity.
She describes her conviction simply: “It’s the passing of the torch from sister to sister”.
