Singer songwriter Sarah McQuaid is coming home to play venues in both Truro and Launceston this autumn, showcasing her new album.

Sarah’s fifth solo album If We Dig Any Deeper It Could Get Dangerous is produced by guitar legend Michael Chapman and has been hailed a “consummate artistic triumph” by Folk Radio UK.

For the album and tour she’s upped the number of instruments in her arsenal to include drum, piano, electric and acoustic guitars.

“People look at my stage setup and say, ‘Oh, I didn’t realise you were bringing a band with you,’” she laughed, “and I have to explain that no, it’s still just me!

“But it’s great to be able to have so much variety in my live set, and I’m getting really excited about all these new possibilities instrumentally. I think I might be writing a lot more on piano in the future, and I’d like to do more with the drum as well.”

Sarah was born in Spain and raised in USA but St Buryan near Penzance is her home.

She’s commissioned videos of her songs Slow Decay and The Tug Of The Moon from Truro-based filmmakers Brett Harvey and Mawgan Lewis, as well as a documentary by Mawgan on the making of the new album.

After a 62 gig tour across the States and the UK, she will play No. 8 Café & Deli in Launceston on November 1 and Truro’s Old Bakery Studios on December 2.
