Sally Street is one of Sydney's finest independent female singer/songwriters. Sally has returned with rave reviews from opening the Tangier Jazz Festival in Morocco "The delightful Australian Sally Street, was a hit at Castel Palace." reported Et-Tayeb Houdaifa in La Vie éco as part of his June 2009 review of the Tanjazz Festival, wowed audiences for 7 weeks as a headline act at the Venetian Casino in Macau China, opened the 2010 Sydney Multicultural Festival, Dubbo Jazz Festival, Kings Cross Festival, Newcastle Jazz Festival, mesmerised crowds with her magnetic performances at Sydney's iconic music venue The Basement, The Vanguard, Slide, Star City Casino, the Gold Coast Jazz and Blues Club in Queensland and on the club scene around her home country.
"Facebook Freak" from Sally's third studio pop album which she co-produced and co-wrote with her pianist Gerard Masters was a finalist in the 2010 Great American Song Contest and "Balloons Are Blowing In The Air" from the same album was a finalist in the 2010 Australian Songwriting Competition. Sally's music is regularly aired across community radio in Australia, the U.S. and Paris. "Sally's current single is a blues rock gem, "Tighter than Onion Rings", featuring solid guitar work by James Muller" reported The Manly Daily, 19 Feb 2010. "It's Mick Jagger's little sister" - Paris journalist Pascal Kober, 2 Feb 2010. Sally's original pop songs have been featured on various independent compilation albums released in Australia, and her version of the latin jazz standard "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" is to be released in November 2011 by EMI on a compilation in Greece.
"Imagine your ideal cocktail as a woman, tall, swellegant, with equal parts bubbly personality, stir in a quantity of voluptuosity, a smidgen of playfulness, shake until flirty and look out baby, this drink is gonna pack some punch! Well, that pretty much sums up Sydney's Sally Street: a chanteuse who is all platinum, classy and captivating and who has one of the best voices in this country". Koop Koooper, "Cocktail Nation - The Interviews", Nov 2011
"The scorpion mind of singer/songwriter Sally Street certainly has quite a sting. On one of her latest songs, Street exclaims, “Now the whole world knows I got laid," followed by a breathless sigh of pleasure. Naughty? Without a doubt. But in the buttoned-up world of jazz, Street's brazen, often playfully funny sensuality is like a splash of ice water underneath a desert sun. Street was named the “It Girl" of the Australian jazz scene when she made her debut with "One Bite at the Cherry" in 2008. It's not difficult to see why; Street's pin-up looks define the blond bombshell, and her voice, sliding in between a sex-kitten purr and a soulful croon, is what microphones were made for. Street's newest effort, "The Scorpion Maid," finds her venturing beyond her jazz roots and into pop, alternative rock, and R&B. But her sinfully attractive wit and glamorous beauty remain."
