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, 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. sarahmcquaid.com facebook.com/sarahmcquaidmusic twitter.com/sarahmcquaid youtube.com/sarahmcquaid instagram.com/sarahmcquaidmusic
