Entitled ‘In Gratitude I Sing’, the canon features on Sarah’s third album, which is currently in the mixing stage and should be out in late 2010 or early 2011.

In the meantime, her first two albums When Two Lovers Meet and I Won’t Go Home ’Til Morning are being re-released in North America as a double CD, just in time for Sarah’s first-ever US tour – a real humdinger that takes in 20 shows in 23 days, including such legendary venues as Boston’s Club Passim, upstate New York’s Old Songs and Nashville’s Bluebird Café.

Before she heads Stateside, Sarah will also be performing a Valentine’s Day concert at the Palacio de Congresos y de la Música Euskalduna in Bilbao, Spain.

On her return from the US, she’ll once again be sharing the bill with fellow Cornwall-based band Dalla at Grampound Village Hall, where Sarah debuted her canon a year ago. On that occasion, four members of Dalla had bravely agreed to essay the song with just five minutes of rehearsal time before the show.

Eager to share the song with more audiences, Sarah is calling on any singers who plan to attend her concerts to join her onstage for ‘In Gratitude I Sing’. The sheet music is available for download from Sarah's homepage,www.sarahmcquaid.com, as is a MIDI recording of the melody.

Born in Madrid and raised in Chicago, Sarah McQuaid lived in Ireland for 14 years before moving to Cornwall in 2007.
