The first attempt at the 2021 Sadie Street Showcase ended up being just thatâa chance for the Sadie Street Singers to showcase themselves for the home crowd and nothing more.
In the age of COVID-19, where the virus has caused a multitude of activities to be canceled due to concerns about spreading the virus, it was Mother Nature that played spoiler here. Due to the impending inclement weather, the participants for the showcase had already been chopped from four to seven, and the Sadie Street Singers moved their performance to Friday, Jan. 29, the night before the showcaseâtheir first performance of the year.
