Dancing at the crossroads of hyperfemininity and garage mechanic, Sarah Segal-Lazar is Folk Femme Fatale. Nominated for Folk Music Ontario’s 2024 Recording Artist of the Year, Sarah is known for her unforgettable voice, fiery stage presence, and captivating storytelling.

Her debut studio album VALLEYS, produced by Canadian folk luminary Matthew Barber, hit #3 on KOWS, earned airplay on CBC nationwide and SiriusXM, and was featured in the world premiere of Thy Woman’s Weeds by Governor General Award–winning playwright Erin Shields. Her music was also placed in the documentary On the Fringe (dir. Cory Thibert.)

Sarah has shared stages with Murray Lightburn (The Dears), Daniel James McFadyen, and Alan Merrill (“I Love Rock ’n’ Roll”), and has performed everywhere from soft-seat theatres like the Centaur, the Watermark, and the Segal Centre—to Canadian favourites like Trailside Music Hall and Guilt & Co—and even NYC’s legendary Smalls Jazz Club.

A long-time solo performer, Sarah has recently turned her attention—and heads—to her full-band project, Sarah Segal-Lazar & the Butcher Hearts. Rooted in the storytelling traditions of folk and shaped by the electric energy of Montreal’s arts scene, the band fuses folk, rock, blues, and country into a sound entirely their own—it’s folk music that’s unafraid to colour outside the lines.

Sarah’s music has found a home beyond the stage. She’s part of the Library of Congress’ American Folklife Center’s historic archive. With 52 dates in 2024, festival highlights including Granville Green and the Fundy Sea Shanty Festival, and an upcoming Australian tour with an official appearance at Tasmania’s legendary Cygnet Folk Festival in 2026, things are just heating up for this Folk Femme Fatale.
