Ron Bowen, WXRV 92.5 The River, Boston’s Independent Radio:
“The perfect blend of Ella Fitzgerald and Joni Mitchell.”

The Skinny Pancake, Burlington, VT:
“We are thrilled to host this rising star’s CD release party.. Obscurely folkish, innately jazzish, all talent singer-songwriter. Sarah combines her signature voice with original, organic, guitar picking to deliver a diverse range of music that goes beyond the genre of singer songwriter.”
