CHIRP Radio writesCHIRP Radio Q&A With Sarah Jane Quillin of Desert Liminal (Performing at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on 6/30)
Chicago artist Sarah Jane Quillin of Desert Liminal will perform solo at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on Sunday June 30th. We recently caught up with Sarah Jane to ask a few questions…
Tell us a little about the band.
Desert Liminal is a three piece experimental trio of me, Rob Logan, nd Mallory Linehan. I started Desert Liminal and am the primary songwriter, so I sometimes perform a stripped down set as Desert Liminal solo for smaller, active listening environments. I'm doing DL solo for the CHIRP benefit at the Whistler on June 30.
So...What’s going on? Tell us about your current releases and/or upcoming shows (such as CHIRP Night at the Whistler!)
After the June 30 solo show at the Whistler I am going to tour with the Desert Liminal trio in Europe for the first time. We are supporting DEHD on a leg of their Poetry album release tour and will be traveling to Germany, Amsterdam, France, and Switzerland.
I love DEHD who have been great mentors, I love my band, and I'm ecstatic to be going on this tour of Europe. After that, Desert Liminal has a finished record that will be released later this year.
