Sally Spring, and her husband Ted Lyons land in France this week by invitation of the prestigious FIMU Festival as part of her first ever European 

 Sally was recently selected by the nationally recognized No Depression Magazine to perform in a show to celebrate their 10th Anniversary. Co-editor, Peter Blackstock, describes Sally as having "beautiful vocals" and an "A-list band". Spring creates music of timeless and boundless appeal. "She's a treasure." (Gene Parsons).Tour, though she has topped the Euro Americana Chart with both here last albums.  She has been a folk-rock marvel since the 70's, with self released records long before the "indie" world was popular. er new release and fifth recording, Made Of Stars, is distributed by Super D and features not only her inimitable voice and evocative, powerful songwriting but also contributions from Susan Cowsill, Gurf Morlix, Peter Holsapple (dB’s, Continental drifters, REM), Caitlin Cary (Tres Chicas, Whiskeytown), Harvey Gold (Half Cleveland, Tin Huey, The Waitresses), James Mastro (Ian Hunter, Jayhawks, Bongos), Fred Smith (Television), Rich Feridun and of coarse Ted Lyons. The CD was produced by Lyons (who accompanies Spring in concert) and mixed by Chris Stamey (known for his production work with Whiskeytown, Alejandro Escovedo, and others). 

At 11 years old, she bought her first guitar, figured out open tunings on her own and accompanied herself on a local television appearance a mere six weeks after she started playing. She performed in college coffee houses soon after, dropping in and out of school to travel and perform. She travelled the country on a shoestring making friends and sharing her southern Americana folk rock music with people like the Byrds, Doc Watson, Mama Cass, Rev. Gary Davis, Taj Mahal, and Nancy Nevins among many others.
