Buffy Sainte-Marie Tribute Sunday w/ Emily Jane White, Mariee Sioux, Windy Gap, Michael Musika, Conspiracy of Venus, & more! @ the Make-Out Room 7:15.
"A Tribute to Buffy Sainte-Marie"
Respect Your Elders
By Marc HawthorneOne of the results of freak-folk flag bearers likeDevendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom making their way into the public consciousness is the spotlight that has been put on their '60s folk-revival influences. Native American singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie is on a lot more radars these days, and this Sunday, April 18, several local artists will show their gratitude with a tribute at the Make-Out Room.
"One of the main reasons we wanted to do this show was to bring her music to a new audience, and also bring newer voices to the ears of long-time Buffy fans," says Jessie Woletz, who sings with the all-female choir Conspiracy of Venus and is one of the event's organizers. Artists slated to perform include Emily Jane White, Mariee Sioux (Banhart has compared Sioux to Sainte-Marie), and Michael Musika. There will also be plenty of collaborations, including Conspiracy of Venus and Gabrielle Ekedal tackling "Universal Soldier," Sainte-Marie's poignant antiwar song that stirred up quite a bit of controversy back in the day.
It's worth noting that Sainte-Marie, who last year released a new album, Running for the Drum, played a show in L.A. just last week. Fingers are being crossed that the woman of the hour shows up to bask in the glory of hearing her songs being praised onstage. "We were seeking out artists who we thought would resonate with what Buffy represents," Woletz says. "An event like this involves a little bit of risk for all of the artists, in branching out of their comfort zone and doing covers, especially of someone with a voice like Buffy's. So we sought out people [who were] up for the challenge."

"I hear Buffy's influences in the macabre lullabies of Diamanda Galas and the sagacious song stories of Mariee Sioux." - Devendra Banhart in Bust Magazine
Buffy's Academy Award-winning song will be performed, just for us, on April 18. There is either nothing better, or else nothing worse, than the following clip. Jennifer Warnes' hair will not be joining us, alas. Here it is - Up Where We Belong, sung by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes:
