It's been way too long! San Francisco's Blame Sally returns at last to the Freight stage for an evening of passionate, potent songs, spotlighting numbers from their new CD, Severland (Ryko). Emotionally charged, highly melodic, and irresistibly compelling, the music made by the powerhouse also known as Pam Delgado, Renee Harcourt, Jeri Jones, and Monica Pasqual has a truly distinctive sound. All four women are exceptional songwriters, instrumentalists, and vocalists, and in performance they switch off lead vocals and trade instruments, creating music marked by funky, melodic rhythms, skilled instrumentation, and beautiful, intricate harmonies.

Famed on their San Francisco home turf, Blame Sally have gained an ever-growing following over the seven years since they formed their band. Their most recent accomplishment is seeing their catchy anti-war anthem, "If You Tell a Lie," spend months with the second highest number of downloads on the protest-video chart at Neil Young's famed "Living With War" website.
