Sarah Orton
Sarah’s early exposure to mainstream pop music as a child of the 90s, the blues and rock'n'roll cassette tapes on rotation in the Ford Bronco driven by her hippy parents, and her enigmatic Russian Doukhobor ancestry—a heritage preserved through psalm singing—all had a significant impact shaping her musical journey. Developing singing and performance as a profoundly spiritual and creative form of expression.
Because of this, she has forged varying paths in the music industry as a versatile and dynamic vocalist, songwriter, nascent producer, and diverse collaborator. The fruits of her labour can be heard in the alt-soul 4-piece collective Penny Shades, with two self-produced EP’s backed by FACTOR Canada and Creative BC, and performances at Kootenay Summer Festival favourites Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival, Starbelly Jam, and Nelson International Music Festival.
No stranger to the big stage, Orton can also be found supporting vocals in nationally renowned electro-folk act Moontricks; Headlining numerous music festivals and sold-out venues in Western Canada, such as Vancouvers legendary Commodore Ballroom, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Shambhala Music Festival, Constellation Festival, and Rifflandia.
With a full solo album brewing behind the scenes and a summer of festival shows ahead, you’ll be glad to have stumbled onto the powerful and soulful timbre of Sarah in her most cherished place: song.
