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.

“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.”
Sarah Stockwell is a passionate connoisseur of songs, a finder and nurturer of their shy secret beauties, a caresser of melody and rhythm. She is a voracious seeker of songs that bring awakening and regeneration.
Part seer, part iconoclast, part romantic, her art is the creation of moments -- the concert, the performance, the recording. Her fierce, hungry, generous spirit can take an audience from laughter through tragedy to hope and an awakening of communion and purpose.
