Look who's coming to the Algoma Fall Festival

Sarah Slean's elegant, poignant, and inspired musical style has garnered her three Juno Award nominations, two Gemini Award nominations, and a loyal worldwide fan base.

She's just one of the many diverse Canadian talents included on the 2009 Algoma Fall Festival performance roster announced today.

Classically trained on the piano, Slean artfully marries, bends and redefines genres such as cabaret, folk, pop and classical to create a unique musical landscape for her passionate voice to soar above.

In 2005, she was voted best musician by Eye Weekly readers and won Now Magazine's best female vocalist award.

Her music has been featured in the hit television series Party of Five, Dawson's Creek and Felicity, and in 2004 she starred along side Mary Maragret O'Hara in the musical film Black Widow.

The 2009 Algoma Fall Festival welcomes Sarah Slean to Sault Ste. Marie on Friday, October 9 at 8 p.m.

Other artists scheduled to appear throughout the festival include the Toronto Symphony Orchestra on September 17, You Dance on October 15, blues diva Dawn Tyler Watson on October 23, comedy troupe Women Fully Clothed on October 24, and Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience on October 30.
