'Australian folk nymph, Sarah Humphreys is as natural and honest as they come. Soulful and unpolished.' - Rolling Stone Magazine, 4 stars.
"Sarah makes singing seem so effortless, graceful and easy that she leaves us feeling only the pure emotion of the words, of the song. She inspires other singers to higher heights. She sounds to me like the warm embrace of a wise, benevolent, beloved sister. She is the Karen Carpenter of our age, but with added spunk and grit." - Matt Tonks
"From the first time I heard Sarah Humphreys’ beautiful voice I became her biggest fan. She writes songs from the heart that are real and captivating – just like the person she is." - Kasey Chambers
Sarah returns to the stage and the road after raising her beautiful babies into sweet little kids. She lives on Wiradjuri Country in NSW in an off grid cabin with her family, her animals, her chickens and her native orphaned animals that she cares for. You can find her most days, writing and recording songs in her home studio among the gum trees. Her music and voice is like no other, she leaves her audience with full hearts and teary eyes.
