Sarah Cheevers’ sound is a playful, sonorous blend
of Joni Mitchell and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. Her
rich voice sculpts lyrics and melodies telling
stories of common human experience to the
accompaniment of guitar, strings, and sometimes
trumpet. Most songs emanate from her own
experiences, whether they are from the thrill and
pain of love or from her work as a school teacher
with under-privileged youth. It is clear that the
passion in Sarah’s songs come from a profound love
for people and the natural world.
Sarah’s fans discovered her first while listening
to her two independent CDs or attending her
performances at various venues including
Vancouver’s Railway Club and Canadian Music Week in
Toronto. Sarah's lyrics have caught the attention
of CBC's Paul Grant, as well as west coast acoustic
blues legend Kelly Joe Phelps, with whom Sarah has
also recorded. For the past five years, Sarah has
played regularly at the Cottage Bistro in
Vancouver.
Most of her songs oscillate between a rhythmic
strumming to finger-picking lines based on her
unique and beautiful melodies. Sarah’s
guitar-playing style provides a perfect backdrop
for her lyrics, emotion inherent in both making for
memorable musical moments. Listening to the music
of Sarah Cheevers is like chilling out with your
best friends and revisiting the biggest moments in
life. Come and try it out.
