The London based songwriter Sarah Dearlove is passionate about the piano and plays with elegance and flair. Her playing is influenced by Tori Amos and her voice has been compared to Kate Bush. Picture this: a teenager dancing in a Birmingham kitchen to Wuthering Heights feeling empowered and liberated. Transformed. Out of the proverbial domestic scene and into celestial bliss. Sarah Dearlove’s SongStories take us on a journey through her mind, her highs and lows, love and loss and into a curiosity cabinet. A lover of historical oddities and their ancestry and the stories behind them. Sarah Dearlove is a storyteller that uses electro piano driven SongStories to encourage people to be honest about their health and heart. Sarah shows us that our vulnerable side can be strong and inspiring and that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously.
Music has helped Sarah to be kind to herself. She has been composing music and writing songs since she was a child but her anxiety and fear of rejection became too much. Bearing her soul for an audience was too risky and no fun. She decided to focus her love of music on others and put everything into helping children to feel the power of music. After 13 years of educating children in music, she decided to spread her wings and start a new chapter. Even though this has been a huge leap (and a global pandemic with lockdown happened!) this has been the most positive and exhilarating time of her life. This songbird has wings. Sarah Dearlove’s SongStories have new feathers and she would like you to come fly with her.
Being born in stable - Proud Stables, Camden - and now performing to audiences using online platforms, Sarah is looking forward to mass gatherings again. Watch this space!
"Songbird and Hammergoddess. Two titles I love. Not my own. When I write songs they are a product of my life experiences. When I perform them I am vulnerable. When you listen to them, they are yours. The lyrics express the past present and future. Times you might relate to. Times you might wish to relive or forget. I write these songs for me and I share them for you."
