"..a brilliant singer and songwriter" Jeff Lang
"..totally believable songs...outstanding" Billy Pinnell
"..Aided and abetted by a stellar lineup of musicians, this is music that wanders freely off the country reservation, bringing soul-infused horns, gospel and folk traditions along for the ride..a great album of songs...You can't ask for much more than that." Jarrod Watt, ABC Ballarat, Oct 6 2008
"...her second solo album retains affectionate links with the vintage Nashville swoon of Patsy and Loretta...a calm, clear voice that's neither overtly Melbourne nor Memphis." Michael Dwyer, The Age.

Date of birth 30/06/07
Sarah is proud to announce the release of her third studio album, HOME AND HEART. This collection will be available at her shows, from her website and on iTunes from the end of March, 2011. The album covers much ground stylistically, but features the gorgeous country-influenced sounds Sarah is known for, with many of the same musicians who accompanied her on Wahine joining her again. Order it now, along with her other releases, Wahine, YIPPEE and the Pirate Girl EP, from my website www.sarah67comeback.com, or my dear friends at The Last Record Store, www.thelastrecordstore.com, Greville Records and The Basement Discs.

Apart from my live music work with my darling friends and husband, recording and songwriting, my dearest love is sharing music with the kids (and adults) I teach. Now in my 5th year as a ukulele teacher and still loving it. I've also been a public radio announcer for over 20 years, at 3CR, 3RRR and The Pulse in Geelong. Choir director, mother of two, new horse owner, beach goer, Holden driver. Currently a board member of The Sweethearts, a fabulous all-girl band comprising students from Matthew Flinders College in Geelong. Also book the odd gig at the now world-famous PIPING HOT CHICKEN SHOP in Ocean Grove. Email me for more info......sar@sarah67comeback.com or phone: 0428 854 913.
