San Diego Folk Heritage Presents: Sarah McQuaid with Eric Freeman

On Friday, October 16, 2015 at 7:30pm, San Diego Folk Heritage is thrilled to showcase Sarah McQuaid at our next Poway concert as a part of her US and UK tour promoting her critically-acclaimed new album Walking Into White. San Diego-based bluesman Eric Freeman will open the show. The all ages event will take place at Templar?s Hall in Old Poway Park (14134 Midland Rd. - Poway, CA 92064). Admission is $15 for members and $18 standard. Students with school I.D. receive the member price, and youth ages 12 and under are free. Tickets are available at the door or online. About Sarah McQuaid: UK-based singer/songwriter Sarah McQuaid was keen to ensure that her fourth solo album Walking Into White got at least a few full-length listens before being subsumed into playlists ? so she?s performing the whole thing live, track by track, as the first half of each concert on her forthcoming September-October US tour. Released in the UK and Europe in February and North America in August, Walking Into White has already drawn praise from critics: Johanna B. Bodde at InsurgentCountry.net called it ?A combination of seasoned craft and innovative ideas... Highly recommended,? while in Folkwords, Tim Carroll wrote: ?The echoing magic of Walking Into White?seizes you from the first and holds you captured long after the last notes fade.... Sending out a trembling resonance, this is a collection of songs that feel their way into your being.? Born in Spain, raised in Chicago and now living in rural England, Sarah McQuaid refuses to be pigeonholed, segueing easily from one of her emotive originals into a 1930s Cuban jazz number, a 16th century lute piece or an unexpected contemporary cover.
