Sarah Gillespie was born in London to an American mother and British
father. She grew up in Norfolk, England - interspersed with numerous
trips to Minnesota, where she soaked in the sounds of Bessie Smith,
Bob Dylan, Cole Porter and early blues and jazz. From the age of 4,
Sarah composed songs on piano, and then at 15 began playing guitar.
At 18, she moved to the USA, busking in the streets and playing gigs.
Her music is a fusion of jazz, folk and blues knitted together by
poetic, streetwise lyricism. The Guardian's jazz critique John
Fordham describes Gillespie as ?(joining) Bob Dylan's lyrical bite
and languid delivery to the forthrightness of Joni Mitchell, with a
little rap-like percussiveness thrown in, she is an original."
Sarah's band features Enzo Zirilli on drums and Ben Bastin on double
bass with special guests Gilad Atzmon and Mercury nominated pianist
Kit Downes joining on recent concerts.
