Music at First U presents Sarah McQuaid

Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.

Holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, Sarah was born in Spain and raised in Chicago, where she was a member of the Chicago Children’s Choir which rehearsed at the First Unitarian Church — making this a homecoming show of sorts.

She brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation. All this is abundantly demonstrated by her new live album and video series The St Buryan Sessions — but needs to be savoured in person to be fully appreciated.
