A Siren in the City

singing sultry folk from the west coast

Sarah hails from the West Coast of Canada and has recently made a great leap from the old growth forest and quiet beaches of Gabriola Island to the glass buildings and concrete grit of Toronto. A ‘Siren in the City’, this ocean loving songstress is setting roots in the thriving urban scene which has already influenced the texture of her work.

Part West Coaster, part Ontarian, and an honorary Maritimer, this renaissance woman, hails from a musical family and background in Marine Biology. Sarah chose the life of the travelling musician, for like a tumbleweed going with the wind, she is a natural rambler and believes in the power of music to invoke positive change. 

Sarah has played vastly diverse stages, from train cars crossing the country as part of the ‘Via Rail Artists on Board Program’, to house concerts, to festivals, to bars, ballrooms. She holds court as a one-woman show with timeless originals (and the occasional cover) and often alongside her talented musical peers. Sarah thrives on the connection she builds with her audiences while merging art and nature in the vessel of her music. She believes art is a powerful tool in encouraging people to experience the benefits and beauty of caring for each other and our ecosystems. 

When she’s not working on her new album or collaborating with local talent, she can be found strolling the city, cooking up a storm, moving on her yoga mat, or curled up with a good book. To keep in touch, sign up for Sarah’s monthly newsletter “The Salty Licks Review”!
