Coined, "the perfect blend of Ella Fitzgerald and Joni
Mitchell," by Boston's 92.5 the River, jazzy/folk-rock
singer/songwriter, Sarah Blacker, has been consistently winning
over audiences along the east coast and beyond, since the

October of 2009 to over 300 fans at the Hard Rock Cafe, Boston.
Named the Number 1 Artist of 2009 by Max Bowen, writer for the
Noise, Boston, she was most recently chosen out of 40
Boston-based singers during Radio 92.9's Contest with Ernie Boch

Subaru TV and radio commercial campaign.
Blacker is a
Board-Certified Music Therapist for children with special needs,

Beasley along on her rigorous touring adventures as often as

unique voice, Sarah, her black guitar, and mandolin, "Mandy,"
have their sights set on the stars, and agreeably so, says Candy
O'Terry of Magic 106.7, Boston. “I believe she’s a young artist
that our listeners should know about, and I love the fact that
she’s an artist with a social conscience.”
This album, her second , 'Come What May,' an exquisite collection of 12 original songs which Blacker recorded and produced with her bassist, Sean McLaughlin of 37' Productions, Rockland, MA [Entrain, Elliot Smith, Rush]
