Sarah Once Was: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Sarah Once Was

Sarah Once Was is a New York City–based rock/pop artist who performs at Lower East Side rooms including Arlene’s Grocery. She has shared bills with Jac Conner, Kyra Baskin, Sophie Kyle Collins, and Emma Jean O, appearing in lineups that place guitar-driven songs alongside electronic-leaning sets. With a modest but active online listenership (about 141 Spotify followers), her work reads as scene-connected rather than industry-scaled. Her performances favor direct songcraft and clear vocals over spectacle.
