Welcome to Sarah Jerrom's official website!
Sarah's News....
~Apr. 5~ I'm thrilled to have been accepted into the Banff International Jazz and Creative Music Workshop, headed by Dave Douglas, which will take place for three weeks in May. Keep checking my website for more updates on this exciting experience! Also, a little FYI announcement: my new Celtic band, Full Irish Breakfast, is now known as Grand Parade, which will hopefully head off confusion about breakfast being served instead of a concert! Our St. Patrick's Day show at the Tranzac was really fun- thanks to our new fans who came out to support our debut show. Grand Parade is back at the Tranzac on June 21- check out the calendar page for more info. I'll also be playing at the Tranzac during the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival with my quintet on June 25.

~Feb. 29~ Check out the calendar page for information on my newly-formed band, Full Irish Breakfast. We're performing our debut show on Mar. 16th, the eve of St. Patrick's Day. The band members are a combination of jazz and Irish musicians, resulting in an electic, improvised approach to traditional Irish music. I'm excited to be a part of this unique new sound!
