Sarah MacDougall

Swedish-born songwriter, Sarah MacDougall is a storyteller, entertainer and minstrel with a haunting voice and songs to match. She delivers each song with passion and depth: her music rips your heart out, twists it around and then, gently coaxes it back home. Combining the raw, rustic quality of lonesome country tales with warm folk melodies, Sarah writes about love, heartbreak, crows and various forms of travel. Now living in Vancouver, BC, Sarah captures her audience with her spontaneous stage presence and a Euro-Folk Americana style that has earned her the reputation as one of the best emerging singer/songwriters of the Canadian West.
