Sharon Pollock, an oft-produced Canadian playwright who was known for works that explored Canadian history and identity at a time when few of her contemporaries were doing so, died on April 22 at her home in Calgary, Alberta. She was 85.
Her daughter Lisa Pollock said the cause was cancer.
epic a decade ago,
Sharon Van Etten has demanded the attention of the entertainment world. Now with five records under her belt, as well as notable acting credits and collaborations with many celebrated names in indie rock, she remains one of the most captivating songwriters releasing music today.
For Sharon,
epic was a turning point, marking the shift from record label publicist and solo performer to full-time artist, backed by a talented band of beloved friends. Through expert use of harmonies, instrumentation and intimate ruminations on a past painful relationship, epic touched the hearts of music-lovers and musicians everywhere, including here in Seattle. I myself first discovered Sharon’s music via this record, and have been a lifelong fan ever since.
