Sabrina Ellis, Sydney Wright, Sisi, Kalu James

Ain’t no party like a Sabrina Ellis party, because a Sabrina Ellis party has pipes. A Giant Dog’s frontperson has curated a free songwriter series at Radio/East throughout June, concluding with Ellis’ birthday show. The lineup reflects the eclectic spirit of the series, one night spanning the psych funk of Kalu James, lush summer grooves from Sisi, and Sydney Wright’s earnest pop. The through line? Impressive vocals will be front and center. – Abby Johnston
