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.A donation to Damien's Food Pantry is your “ticket” into the show. Sponsored by Friends of the Wareham Free Library.PLEASE NOTE: Library closes at 5:00 p.m. on Mondays. Doors to the show will open at 6:30 p.m.
