Having just returned from a successful two-month tour in the USA, Cornwall-based singer-songwriter Sarah McQuaid is gearing up for a short UK tour ahead of working on a much-anticipated new album. Starting on 16 January, the tour includes 3 performances in Dorset as part of the brand-new spring programme by local Charity Artsreach.

“Stunning vocals… engaging narrative with the audience; an all-round musical treat.” Beaford Arts Rural Touring

Sarah McQuaid’s stunning and distinctive vocals combine with her engaging personality, and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) floor tom drum to create a truly immersive experience.

Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, and now settled in rural Cornwall, Sarah brings warmth, wit, and intimacy to every performance, earning devoted fans across the Atlantic. Bringing the eclecticism of her multi-national background to her songwriting and choice of material, Sarah’s work spans genres and defies categorisation. From contemplative ballads to playful blues and atmospheric instrumentals, expect a varied programme of original and folk songs, plus a few familiar covers, performed on a range of instruments.

Artsreach is delighted to welcome Sarah McQuaid to Dorset, performing live in:

  • Shipton Gorge (01308 897649) on Thursday 22 January
  • Studland (01929 450587) on Saturday 24 January
  • Milborne St Andrew (07983 231956) on Sunday 25 January.
