The Beauty Train stops here

Jane Siberry at a venue near you
–––
The Beauty Train chug-a-chugs through Regina on Friday, one of only seven Canadian dates on Jane Siberry’s current North American tour.
“There’s a lot of pressure on Regina to represent Canada,” the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Canadian folk artist said last week of her show on November 26.
Siberry’s love of music has led her to where she is today.
“I didn’t have much training [in music], but [the University of Guelph] let me in. I lied my way in,” Siberry said. She soon transferred her major to microbiology, though, when music proved to be boring. She continued performing in café venues, though, and in 1981 she released her first recording.
After having released seven albums, she started her own record label, Sheeba, in 1996. The onslaught of projects included eight albums and the appearance of her songs on the soundtracks for several movies, including The Crow and Pay It Forward.
The label encompasses all-things-Jane, and produces her albums, films and poetry. A television show may even one day be in the works.
“[My show is called] The Beauty Train. I started it four years ago, when I was trying to get out of the music industry,” Siberry said.
She describes it as a “possibility of an alternative music-and-talk show to everything else that’s on t.v.,” namely The Mike Bullard Show, which she hates because of the host’s “meanness.”
In the meantime, Siberry’s endeavors include “writing and writing.”
“There’s so much I haven’t finished.”
She looks to her friends and family for inspiration, the “people I trust that say what they think.”
Siberry believes art is to help humankind, a view that is evident upon a visit to her website. The “kitchen” link features a word of the day (current one is “consistency”), fridge notes (“While I am gone, please give Maybelline lots of sunlight…”), ancient photos of young hockey enthusiasts, and poetry on the origin of the f-word (“They noticed my son, Foecke. And they nicknamed him. And so began the story of Fuck.”).
Siberry hopes to share her eclecticism with others and encourages everyone to come to her show at the Exchange at 8 p.m., which features Vancouverite Adrienne Pierce. Tickets are $19 at the door.
