She was a one-woman show, singing and playing the guitar without any band to back her up. Nonetheless, she emitted the power and energy of a large choir.<\/p>\n<p>Passion gleamed through MacDougall\u2019s singing. She sounded amazing, for the most part; however, she would sometimes go off key because she either got excited or emotional, but that just added to her passionate performance.<\/p>\n<p>Her confidence oozed on songs such as \u201cCold Night\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s A Storm.\u201d Uncertainty seemed to creep in when she sang her new single \u201cI Want To See The Light,\u201d unsure of how the audience may perceive the song.<\/p>\n<p>MacDougall\u2019s presence reminds me of actress Ellen Page. She not only resembles Page with her chestnut locks and small physique but she also behaves in a similar awkward fashion. For example, the ending of the show was abrupt; she briefly thanked the audience and exited the stage. We were all a bit shocked when she did not return. As a lady behind me said, \u201cThat felt inconclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Once was impressive (and had some hilarious jokes), however, this night belonged to MacDougall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whitehorse singer\/songwriter Sarah MacDougall opened for Newfoundland folksters The Once at the historical and quaint St. Ann\u2019s Academy last night, and she stole the show.
