Sarah Gilberg

"Come walk with me," beckons the title track of Sarah Gilberg's debut album, Other People's Secrets, and the invitation lingers throughout, as she leads the listener through quiet reflections on new love, old love, strength, and healing. Steeped in the traditions of folk and American standards, Sarah writes songs featuring clear, melodic vocal lines and lyrics that are at once both simple and sophisticated, both deeply personal and relatable. Originally composed for solo performance with piano or acoustic guitar, these songs come to life with a new warmth and lushness on this studio recording with the support of jazz musicians Gary Prince on electric guitar, Brian Cruse on acoustic bass, and Tim Cohen on percussion.

Sarah is based in Washington, DC. In addition to performing her own music, she frequently supports other DC-area musicians as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. She also has extensive experience singing in and arranging for a cappella groups, and accompanying and directing music for musical theater productions.
