Home Sweet Home Again

Posted on by

Roni, Beasley and I had one serious adventure down south!

From broken stereos and cell-phones, to flash-flooding, tornadoes, and even an inner-ear-infection…it was one tour that we will truly never forget. Some photos of our travels: the NY Songcircle show at the Bitter End, + the show at the Evening Muse in Charlotte, NC are on facebook, but more will be posted shortly.

I shared an amazing night at

the Southern Cafe and Music Hall w/Katie Costello in Charlottesville, VA, but pre-show, returned to

WCNR‘s the Corner Lounge. To hear my in-studio interview and performance, click here.

The Weekender in PA wrote an awesome article and interview about our show in Pittston, PA, and said,

“When it comes to music, it’s refreshing to come across someone like Sarah Blacker. In a society where worth ethic seems to dwindle more and more, Blacker pushes along through the thick and thin just to keep doing what she loves most: Performing on stage.”

To read the entire article, click here. Unfortunately this show was cancelled due to a number of reasons, but we will be back to PA in May, so check out the shows page for details.

I finally got red cowboy boots in Asheville, NC

The AMAZING Ashley Fournier took photos of my show at the Evening Muse in Charlotte, NC supporting
the Boxcars featuring Adam Steffey [Alison Krauss's mandolin player]

SB + her new CD have been turning lots of heads… read on…

the online source for Roots Music

Featured Artist, February 2011
The Alternate Root Magazine
“Sarah Blacker has the kind of voice that bends, swirls, flies high and goes down low without ever losing any of its power. Though it is control and an understanding of its power that allows that tone its potential, Sarah manages to deliver in a manner that lets the songs live in texture rather than technique.”

Music Scene: Sarah Blacker stays truer to herself on new CD  – The Patriot Ledger - Jay Miller
“The most arresting song on the new album is “I’m Like a Train, My Lord,” which Blacker sings solo, with just her guitar. Blacker sings it as soaring folk-gospel, providing plenty of emotional power and uplift, yet uncovering all manner of exquisite subtlety in the melody. More striking still, while singing she’s also playing guitar with some delicate finger-picking lines that are equally stunning. It would be an impressive performance for either a guitarist or vocalist, but to have someone do both simultaneously is impressive.”

“Blacker has definitely hit the emotional and musical bull’s eye on this new Come What May album”

Posted on by

“Sarah Blacker’s new ‘Come What May CD’ stands up to repeated listening. She can keep a lot of elements together as her voice, with its persistent edge, forges everything into the song’s backbone. The emotion is in her lyrics and stories and she just lets her special voice caress the melodies. She doesn’t just sing her chorus, she finesses it.”

SB will be returning to ‘Citywide Blackout’ w/Max Bowen on February 25th for an interview and live performance. He says of her recent album,

“Sarah’s music has a relaxing power to it. You crank up the volume and let your mind float away on the music.”

Max Bowen chose SB as his number 1 choice of 2009 for his list in the Noise Magazine following the release of ‘The Only Way Out is Through.’ [click here] to check out Max’s awesome blog, and find out how to listen to the interview.
