Louisiana-born Sarah Savoy is the eldest daughter of the legendary Marc and Ann Savoy and sister of Wilson Savoy of the Pine Leaf Boys. This is \u201ckick-ass Cajun of the highest order\u201d, definitely one for the dancers and lovers of Louisiana music in general. Tall and good-looking, Sarah Savoy is a vision of '50's-style loveliness with fringed hair swept up at the back into a pony tail, high-heeled court shoes and a full-skirted, knee-length dress. Her voice is as clear and strong and gut-wrenching as Patsy Cline's. She plays both guitar and washboard and, with an engaging line in humorous chat, she wins over the audience with her easy Southern charm. \u201cA Louisiana singer with hellraising credentials, Sarah Savoy is the self-styled queen of white trash Cajun\u201d (fROOTS).\r\n","venue":{"title":"Kitchen Garden Cafe","url":"http://livebrum.co.uk/venues/kitchen-garden-cafe"},"genre":{"title":"Rock & Pop","url":"http://livebrum.co.uk/genres/rock"},"copyight":"All data copyright livebrum.co.uk.

And then there's the album's stunning centrepiece \"Where The Water Folds\". A show-stopping duet with Anna Russell (from label mates Friends of the Stars) that delivers that old flair for melancholy but with some new layers of skin, less raw and more wry and with a melody that'll wrap itself around your leg and purr. Two Brothers Leave Home is sound of an artist who's put the pieces together. Confident and quite brilliant\r\n","venue":{"title":"Kitchen Garden Cafe","url":"http://livebrum.co.uk/venues/kitchen-garden-cafe"},"genre":{"title":"Rock & Pop","url":"http://livebrum.co.uk/genres/rock"},"copyight":"All data copyright livebrum.co.uk.
