Sarah McQuaid

I would like to welcome singer/songwriter Sarah McQuaid to the show. Sarah has been singing since joining a children’s choir and was touring before hitting double digits. Even in school she looked at singing like it was her vocation. That shouldn’t be surprising once you discover that both her parents were artists and one of her relatives was a founder of the ACLU and won a Nobel Peace Prize. She discusses her love of traditional music and how that led to her accidentally writing a book. She also describes the similarities between writing a song and having children, even if that song is sung in hillbilly gaelic. She has a new live album out, The St. Buryan Sessions. It’s just her in a church and it sounds so lush. Pick it up wherever you get music. There is also a limited vinyl release so grab that while you can! Follow her on IG @sarahmcquaidmusic, check out her site sarahmcquaid.com. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on the socials.
