SARAH

Verse 1.
I came upon a charming girl and Sarah is her name,
Her parents wants a husband with riches, wealth and fame,
I have no wealth but riches and fame, has never come my way
til the night I went to visit my love and through the keyhole say:

Chorus:
Sarah, Sarah won’t you come out tonight,
Sarah, Sarah the moon is shining bright,
Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won’t be long,
And I’ll be waiting for you round the corner!

Verse 2.
My Sarah is the girl like this, a girl you seldom see
She loves me only for myself and not for my money
Every night at eight o’clock, she puts the needle away
And standing just outside her door and through the keyhole say:

Chorus:

Verse 3.
One night a little after eight, I crept up to her door
and whispered, “Sarah, darling” as I often done before
“I’ll give you Sarah” said a voice, as down I went to flop!
And her Mother sang as she kicked me all around the shop!

Chorus:

Verse 4.
The old woman thought she killed me and I let her think so too
As I lay there on the floor I scarce knew what to do
At last she said ” alive or dead? My girl I’ll let him wed.”
And up I jumps said “Thank you, Ma’am” and to my girl I said:

Chorus:

Led by their fearless front-woman Derina Harvey, this five-piece Celtic-rock group offers a fresh take on traditional tunes and intersperse that offering with their own original jigs and reels. Their infectious rhythmic undertow is layered with rock guitar, dizzying fiddle motifs, and topped by Derina’s powerful voice. These transplanted east-coasters have earned a reputation with their high-energy live show, leaving many an audience out-of-breath and hollering from the dance floor!

The band has proven to be a crowd-pleaser wherever they go. Though the band is based in Alberta, 2015 has seen the group travel across the country, with three trips to Newfoundland to their credit where they have entertained crowds at theatres, festivals, and pubs. They have been featured twice on the main stage of George Street Festival in St. John's, once opening for NL favourites Shanneyganock. Most recently, they have shared the stage with other east-coast favourites such as Jimmy Rankin, The Irish Descendents, Pogey, and even some rock acts including The Trews, Kim Mitchell, and Trooper.

The band continues to build on a growing fan base by promoting their self-titled debut album (released in 2013). The record has garnered radio airplay in multiple regions in Canada (CKUA in Edmonton; K-Rock and Radio Newfoundland in St. John's, NL; CBC, Canada-wide). Their second album entitled "Rove and Go" (released May, 2016) has already gotten airplay on over 30 community and college radio stations across Canada.
