The Music of Sarah Stockwell Arthen

Earth Hour Concert – Cummington MA, Sat. 3/27, 7:30pm

March 27 at 7:30 pm ($5-10 sliding scale)
at the Cummington Community House
33 Main Street, Cummington MA 01026

For the third year, I will hold a concert and community event to coincide with Earth Hour,  “a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community to  stand up, to show leadership and be responsible for our future.”  Along with millions of others around the planet, we will douse the lights at 8:30pm for one hour.

Seems a good time for a night of music and community updates about living the sustainable good life: we’ll muse on personal and political change, and talk about what is going on in the Hilltowns re: our new coop, CSAs, farmers, local food, permaculture… and more!

This program is supported in part by grants from the Cummington, Worthington, Plainfield and Chesterfield Cultural Councils, local agencies which are are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.  www.massculturalcouncil.org

At Earth Day 2007, singing “Solid Ground”

It’s the land that is our wisdom

It’s the land that shines us through

It’s the land that feeds our children

It’s the land, you cannot own the land, the land owns you.

(from Solid Ground by Dougie MacLean)

Performance reviews and audience reaction

“With her vast and unusual repertoire, Sarah spins a story into a lyrical web of sound that she wraps ever so gently around the listener, moving and changing them. Her presence is as compelling as her performances are unforgettable, awakening the heart and mind of those lucky enough to hear her remarkable song interpretations. She’s my favorite local singer.                                                                                                                 – Penny Schulz

“Her singing is soulful and deeply felt; when she began to sing I felt the mood in the whole room change.”

“I haven’t fall so much in love with a singer since I first heard Kate Bush.”

“My CD player has become a Sarah Stockwell jukebox. I just can’t get enough of her!”

“Eroticism, grace and a deep, loving sensuality are brought to every note.”
