Sarah Beatty

Quirky and captivating, songwriter and scientist Sarah Beatty sounds a bit like Dusty Springfield coming off a science bender. With a voice as sharp as a silver-spur and dangerous as a diamond-backed sidewinder (Raw Ramp), she's an amble adventurer of the inner and outer workings of being a human being. Her new album, Bandit Queen, released in February of this year peaked at #1 on Canada's Roots charts, has become a staple in Top 30 charts across the country, and keeps on being recognized by bloggers and industry insiders as one of those albums that people need to hear (Beehive Candy, Mother Church Pew, Running After My Hat). Far beyond the mainstream, it has landed on international playlists all the way from Nashville to France and as a live performer, she's known for enchanting audiences with warmth, wit, and messages that make people think.
