Sadie Marie shines in showcase concert
A talented songstress, well known on the Wishaw live music circuit, was cherry picked to perform at Glasgow’s newest music venue.
Performing under her stage name of Sadie Marie, 23-yearold Amanda Bogel from Law was chosen for the showcase gig to highlight the versatility of recently opened Room 2 in Nelson Mandela Place in the city.
Following her sterling performance to a crowd of club and gig promoters she explained the reason behind the alter-ego, saying: “I’ve performed a lot in and around the Wishaw area under my own name playing cover songs, I just decided I needed a change of persona for when I’m performing my own material.”
Sadie Marie was part of a bill that included solo vocalist Lorin, six-piece band Quiche, and Afro-pop and rap artist MC Sean Focus.
The singer-songwriter’s plugged- in acoustic set sounded crystal clear through the venue’s unique sound system.
According to Room 2 owner Dario Bernardi, who is also the man behind the long-established La Cheetah nightclub, the music rig is the first of its kind in Europe.
It is able to switch quickly and seamlessly from live music to accommodate DJ sets with pounding bass beats.
And the sound system is complemented by a state of the art visual experience.
Graeme Mcauslane, who runs Hijacked Records the independent label Sadie Marie released last year’s single Lonely Lover on, said: “Sadie Marie was an ideal choice for this, she sounded superb. Room 2 is a welcome addition on the live music scene for musicians and will interest club promoters too.”
You can catch Sadie Marie live when she plays Oran Mor in Glasgow on August 24.
