Sarah Hickey is a songwriter and artist from Glanmire, Cork. With a style that blends folk, rock and pop influences, Sarah’s songs are defined by their introspective lyrics and emotive melodies.

Her recent releases have continued to build momentum, with Hotpress praising Hickey as “patient and comforting, and possess[ing] the skill of a storyteller beyond her years – truly a folk legend in the making.”
