Success Fact: The Sadies

The Sadies

The support from the Radio Starmaker Fund has been invaluable in building The Sadies’ career. It has allowed us to take opening slots with artists such as The Tragically Hip, Black Mountain and Jenny Lewis and led to playing for larger audiences in new venues as headliners. RSF funding has also enabled us to promote our latest release “Darker Circles” both in Canada and abroad. We are truly grateful to everyone involved in the Radio Starmaker Fund for your continued support of The Sadies.
