Sarah McQuillan

Alternative // Kells, Meath

Post apocolyptic pop, laments for the loss of eco systems and humanity alike, mother wisdom peppered with feminine rage, a voice for the age.

In the beginning, she was a solo songwriter and alt-folk singer known as Sarah Red. Shifting then to become lead vocalist, guitarist & songwriter for Dublin progressive rock band Howl (Elastic Affair)

From here her musical path carried her on to perform on stages with irreverent funksters Tongue Bundle, cerebral jazzers Nature and more recently she co-wrote and released the track 'Battles' (2022) with The Side 4 Collective, an eclectic mix of Irish & international artists spearheaded by drummer Dave Hingerty (The Frames/Kila)

The tendrils of her voice have reached out across genres as her vocals have been sampled by Berlin based electronic artist Hybrasil on his track 'Hill of Tara' (2021) and she features as a guest vocalist on the track 'The Lament (I am Calling You)' from Irish death metal band Vircolac's 2024 album 'Veneration'.

Her solo material sees her finding her true voice, writing on piano and drawing from the well of influences in her genre traversing past.
