Alison Sudol, the voice and songwriter for A Fine Frenzy, stopped by ‘The Saturday Early Show’ Second Cup Cafe to perform ‘Almost Lover’. Sudol talked about how her love for classical literature inspires her songwriting and liking high highs and low lows. “It’s pretty much the biggest thing that inspires my songwriting besides love obviously and loss,” Sudol said about her love for the classics. “There’s just such a magic in storytelling and literature and a love of language I got from reading at such an early age.” Watch the brief interview and performance below.

Alison Sudol, known professionaly as A Fine Frenzy, sent out the following bulletin to her Myspace friends on Thursday (November 22):
Hello my dear Brits,
I am so sorry but I must cancel tonight’s show at the Lock Tavern. Jet lag, a bit too much talking (twenty something interviews in 2 days) and a very very (very) smoky show in Paris have rendered me a croaky mess. I’m none too happy about it… However, I’m sure I’ll be back to full health after a few days in one of my favorite cities in the world (ye aulde London, of course!). We have two shows next week and I hope you’ll forgive me for not making this one.
All my love,
Alison
