An incredible power diva… a voice reminding me of Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and Tom Waits.

American singer and songwriter Sarah McCoy returns to Portugal in April to present her new album “High Priestess”, on a tour that culminates on April 10th at Teatro Maria Matos, in Lisbon.
The artist has left the critics surrendered and there are those who compare McCoy to names like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and even Tom Waits. She recently toured France where she presented her new album at Le Centquatre in Paris and performed on the legendary television show Taratata. The French capital has already secured a new date for Sarah McCoy, now at the mythical La Cigale theater in November.
After visiting our country, the singer goes to Spain and then to Germany, where she has confirmed a five-date tour in June.
Sarah McCoy established herself in just a few years as one of the most extravagant figures in alternative music and her live shows quickly became unforgettable experiences of enormous intensity.
The new album “High Priestess” was produced by Renaud Letang (Feist, Manu Chao, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin) and by the renowned Canadian pianist Chilly Gonzales, whom Sarah McCoy met in 2017 at the ARTE Concert festival in Paris, and with whom usually share stages all over the world.
The singer and pianist – who traveled directly from New Orleans to the jazz and blues music scene in Europe – explored the intimate and confessional aspect in her debut album and has now evolved to another level of composition, opting for a more electronic sound that will surely conquer new audiences. “High Priestess” nevertheless preserves the visceral writing and powerful voice that characterize Sarah McCoy.
In April the artist will go to some Portuguese stages: on the 5th of April she will be at the Municipal Theater of Bragança, on the 6th she will go to the Municipal Theater of Covilhã, on the 8th it will be the Teatro-Cine in Pombal and ends later in Lisbon on the 10th at Teatro Maria Matos.
Always confirm with the concert hall or promoter the conditions of access, confirmation of the date or time, tickets place of sale, price, and availability.
