Sarah McQuaid
Sarah
McQuaid’s lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and
“brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars,
keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her
live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy, and have earned her
loyal followings on both sides of the Atlantic.
Born
in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and
now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to
her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of
material. From contemplative ballads to playful blues to atmospheric
instrumentals, Sarah’s music invites reflection, connection, and a deep appreciation
of the quiet power of a well-crafted song.
In
the words of one audience member: “Sarah is a truly impressive artist who takes
you on a journey through storytelling, blending a variety of musical genres and
instruments with ease and creativity. Her lyrics are down-to-earth yet
incredibly captivating. Attending her concert feels like diving into a book of
short stories — some resonate deeply, some spark your imagination, others make
you pause and reflect, and a few bring tears or spontaneous laughter. Sarah’s
connection with the audience is both gentle and profound. You don’t just watch
a performance — you become part of it, part of the story she’s telling. … To
anyone considering seeing her live: go. It’s worth every second. You’ll leave
with your heart full and your soul touched — guaranteed.”
