“Hauntingly beautiful lyricism, unique vocals and a great storyteller” BBC Across The Line
“With shades of Americana, Buckley captures the essence of introspection, whilst enchanting anyone who listens to her sensational storytelling.” Wonderland
Sarah Buckley released the unique and endearing new track ‘Things We Leave Behind‘ on Fri 21st June.
Sarah is an alt-folk artist from Cork, Ireland. A unique and intriguing songwriter, she gained immediate attention with the release of her debut single ‘You’ve Got Me’ (1.3 millions radio impressions) and built on this success with her debut EP ‘Magic Powers’ in Feb 2023, produced by Karl Odlum (David Kitt, Gemma Hayes) followed by her sophomore EP ‘Wind Chimes’ in Oct 2023.
Sarah has been gigging extensively playing showcases and support slots around Ireland. In summer 2024 she was selected to take part in a songwriting programme for a week in Nashville. In summer 2023 she was selected to take part in an EU funded project that allowed her to spend time working on her music in the new environment of Berlin.
Inspired by the world class lyricism of Alex Turner, the introspective songwriting of Matt Berninger and the uncompromising authenticity of Julia Jacklin – Sarah manages to avoid the trap of imitating her heroes; instead channels their influence into something rare and immediately compelling.
Her story is not the oft-told tale of the 5 year old with a hairbrush for a mic and a lifelong dream. Music came later in Sarah’s life, and that subtle difference stands her apart from many of her fellow artists. This is an adventure undertaken by a woman who found her voice in life first, before bringing it to song.
With each release Sarah continues to hone her sound and develop her sound. Her next EP is due for release in autumn 2024.
