STFD presents Sarah McArthur and Nicky Schrire

Fri Nov 22, 18:30 - Fri Nov 22, 23:30

The Tuck Shop

ABOUT

Our next pop show is being hosted in a quaint coffee shop in the heart of Kenilworth in the Souther Suburbs of Cape Town on Friday 22nd November

The Tuck Shop is a hidden gem of a restaurant and from the second we walked in there, we knew we had to host a show there

Our artists for the night are Nicky Schrire and Sarah McArthur who placed first and second respectively in the most recent Barleycorn Singer Songwriter's competition

They both play beautiful and delicate singer songwriter style folk and we can't wait to have them grace the stage

More about the arists:

Sarah McArthur is a songwriter and teacher who has performed at the usual venues around Cape Town including Cafe Roux, the Alma Cafe, Rootspring House and the Barleycorn Music Club, where she won their songwriting competition in 2016, placed in the top ten in 2017 and came second this year. A sucker for a clever lyric and a melancholic tune, she writes honest and raw songs that explore the things that we all experience in our relationships and in our lives.

Sarah released her debut EP Under Water in 2017 which was produced by Wren Hinds at South Sea Records. She is currently working on something a little bigger and hopes to release a full-length album in the new year.

Nicky Schrire is a multitalented and inventive vocalist and composer whose work has earned her comparisons to artists like Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, and Esperanza Spalding.

A graduate of the University of Cape Town and the Manhattan School of Music, she has performed in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, London, Dublin and South Africa, with musicians ranging from Arno Carstens and Sibongile Khumalo, to Grammy-nominated pianists Gerald Clayton and Gil Goldstein.

Schrire has recorded two albums and two EPs, one of which was released on the London folk label Wild Sound Recordings. Recent highlights include headlining the 2018 Cape Town International Jazz Festival and performing her contemporary classical suite for string quartet and voice, ESCAPE: The Ingrid Jonker Suite at the 2018 Suidoosterfees and the 2018 Franschhoek Literary Festival. The suite was performed to

a sold out venue at the Norval Foundation in 2019 and Schrire went on to win the 2019 Barleycorn Songwriters’ Competition for her singer songwriter work, further proving her prowess as a truly versatile musician.
