SARAH REIWITCH
MUSICIAN // SONGWRITER
“No place here for a basic strumming, or even standard finger-picking. Sarah’s pleasantly ringing creativity when playing the acoustic guitar is a breath of fresh air. The creativity overflows into perfectly placed chimes & other manner of musical alchemy. Did I mention the vocals? I’m searching for a word and I think that word has to be…. Perfection.”

BIO
Sarah is inspired to create songs by the moments of joy, ecstasy, heartbreak, and grief that she passes through and sees in others. She draws from a varied background of musical influences, from 70s folk/rock to modern indie-folk to Brazilian popular and folkloric music. Sarah is a multi-instrumentalist who creates compositions on the acoustic guitar and piano in combination with lyrics, then layers on other instruments. She is often likened to Joni Mitchell for her exploratory guitar style, alternative tunings, soulful vocals, and intensely personal lyrics. She has a background in Brazilian dance and Capoeira (an Afro Brazilian art form that includes folkloric music performance), which she studied for nearly a decade, and is a published poet.
SOUNDS LIKE: Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Carole King.
