Sarah McQuaid will perform on 30 January 2027 at Thimblemill Library in Smethwick. The event features the US-born, Cornwall-based singer-songwriter known for her Americana and Folk music, with tickets starting from £15.00.
Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and "brilliant musicianship" (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy, and have earned her loyal followings on both sides of the Atlantic.
Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her "captivating, unorthodox songwriting" (PopMatters) and choice of material. From contemplative ballads to playful blues to atmospheric instrumentals, Sarah's music invites reflection, connection, and a deep appreciation of the quiet power of a well-crafted song.
In the words of one audience member: "Sarah is a truly impressive artist who takes you on a journey through storytelling, blending a variety of musical genres and instruments with ease and creativity. Her lyrics are down-to-earth yet incredibly captivating. Attending her concert feels like diving into a book of short stories - some resonate deeply, some spark your imagination, others make you pause and reflect, and a few bring tears or spontaneous laughter. Sarah's connection with the audience is both gentle and profound. You don't just watch a performance - you become part of it, part of the story she's telling. ... To anyone considering seeing her live: go. It's worth every second. You'll leave with your heart full and your soul touched - guaranteed."
Advance general entry will be £15.00 (£12.00 concessions) & £18 (£15 concessions on the door if available).
Doors open at 7.00pm & music will commence at 7.30pm.
Note that this will be a mainly seated show.

Line-upSarah McQuaid
Sarah McQuaid (born 19 May 1966 in Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish-American singer, songwriter and guitarist. Born in Spain, raised in Chicago and now living in rural England, McQuaid segues easily from one of her emotive originals into a 1930s Cuban jazz number, a 16th century lute piece or an unexpected contemporary cover. Her third solo album The Plum Tree and the Rose (2012) drew critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic: “Impeccable,” wrote fRoots (UK)
