Sloan Wainwright was born into a highly acclaimed musical family, as the youngest sister to Loudon Wainwright III, and auntie to Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. Sloan's teenage years were largely influenced by a constant flow of diverse artists, writers and musicians. She learned to play the piano and watched her brother Loudon become successful. Writing and performing, throughout the Greenwich Village scene, Sloan developed her own unique style.

In the mid 90's Sloan began to collaborate with guitarist Stephen Murphy. Sloan released a self-titled debut CD in 1996 -- Sloan Wainwright. The CD was a critical success and introduced the music to a national audience. The Sloan Wainwright Band followed with a second release in 1998. A tribute in memory of her mother Martha entitled From Where You Are. The third band release -- in early 2001 -- The Song Inside merges traditionally based folk music and more eccentric, creatively evolved variations. Her fourth CD, entitled Cool Morning, sees Sloan take on a myriad of musical challenges. One of the most memorable cuts on the CD is her rendition of U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name." Her performance of this classic not only radiates the greatness of the song, but also gives the listener the clear vision of Sloan as a modern day interpreter of lyrics and music.
