Swedish/Canadian songwriter, Sarah MacDougall is a storyteller, entertainer and pop-troubadour with a haunting voice and songs to match. She delivers each song with passion and depth: her music rips your heart out, twists it around and then, gently coaxes it back home. Combining the raw, rustic quality of lonesome country tales with warm folk melodies and a scandinavian sense of melancholy, Sarah writes about love, heartbreak, crows and living in the city. Now Sarah tours in Canada, UK, and Scandinavia, and captures her audience with her spontaneous stage presence and a Scandinavian-Folk Americana style that has earned her the reputation as one of the most interesting emerging singer/songwriters of the Canadian West. Reviews of 'Across the Atlantic': "MacDougall s latest effort, Across the Atlantic (due out in early 2009 on Copperspine Records) is a moving blend of Scandinavian folk and indie Americana. From sing-a-long ditties to heart-breaking epics, Across the Atlantic gracefully highlights the hook, energy, and honesty of one of the most promising exports to come out of Sweden since ABBA rolled into town drunk on Absolute in their Volvo station wagon." - R. C. Joseph, 24 hours, Vancouver, "Most accurately described as Scandinavian country music, the album s 10 songs present country music in a refreshingly new context with elements of folk, world and old minstrel music. As a songwriter MacDougall writes engaging lyrics wrapped around appealing melodic hooks and her voice is as beguiling as it s captivating (in her low register she resembles Eliza Gilkyson). She also shows considerable skill as a producer weaving a variety of musical threads into a fascinating musical tapestry."- The Record "What a great record she has! It has easily been my most played CD this year so far"- James Windsor, promoter Cosmic American "This newish Vancouver singer-songwriter offers up a tasty collection of mid- tempo alt-folk tunes marked by classy instrumentation beyond that of your average Canadian folkie. As a singer, MacDougall has the honeyed pipes of Austin folkie Eliza Gilkyson, but as a composer she calls to mind such arty CBC Radio favourites as Danny Michel and Christine Fellows. The violin and cello work is particularly fine. The title track, about a trip to her native Sweden, is a standout. So is the closer, Goodbye, Julie, which along with the first track, Song For Sherri, should solidify her following among the crowd."- Winnipeg Free Press "Sarah MacDougall, Hundred Dollar Bills (Copperspine): Swedish-born Vancouverite delivers a vivid snapshot of urban poverty. MacDougall doesn t name names, but the dark shadow of Willie Pickton looms over the verse about “corpses in the fields”. " - Instant Playlist, Georgia Straight "With her melancholy dark voice she takes us on a trip through unhappy love, dying crows and satire. Sarah proves that she soon will belong to the big players within Americana/Alternative country...This is what Vancouver should sound like." - Top 3 of 2008, svullbuk.blogspot.com,(DJ Dake, promoter at Mosebacke, Stockholm)
