“The crowd tonight is more than just fans. From the reaction, you can tell that Sarah’s music has touched more than a few…In the end she creates an experience that leaves this crowd eager for more, encouraging encores after the set is over.”

Patch.com recently wrote of SB’s upcoming spot on the Me and Thee Coffehouse’s Beatles Tribute fundraiser slated for this Friday: “powerful female musician, Sarah Blacker, adds her immense talent to the benefit.”

*SB returns to Me and Thee in Marblehead, MA on 9/23 to support the legendary, Kate Taylor. [James Taylor's sister]

Here are a couple of new videos:
‘Cowboy’ from the Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT taped by an audience member on 6/10/11

…and a fun project SB completed with the talented
producer/engineer/videographer/musician Daniel Perry + her new drummer, Eran Shaysh.
‘California King Bed,’ Rihanna

As quoted on myradio929.com, “The Subaru of New England team worked for months with Radio 92.9 to deliver one of the most unique campaigns in our history… Radio 92.9 in Boston created a website, and promoted the talent search on-air and on the web for one month. The station was swamped with vocalist entries from 36 different bands. The contest delivered about 7000 page views, and 4,237 people voted to determine five finalists. After much deliberation, Ernie Boch picked the winner- a talented young singer named Sarah Blacker.”

It was my pleasure to play for two hours to a seated and silent audience, who I’m so grateful to have been able to share my music with.
