Sarah Quintana

Throughout her remarkable career as a singer, songwriter, and performer in New Orleans, Sarah Quintana has remained deeply rooted in the rich musical tradition of her hometown—while eagerly exploring its boundaries and possibilities in a playful way. Her two entirely self-produced studio albums, live album, and EPs are brimming with a mix of jazz, folk, and rhythm & blues. Her new album BABY DON’T brings together an all-star cast for an album inspired by the music and culture of Louisiana in the 1950s and 1960s. 

Over the years, Sarah has collaborated with renowned Louisiana musicians, including Grammy Award winners Michael Doucet, Kevin Clark (The Nightcrawlers), and Leyla McCalla. She has been recognized by the Grammy Recording Academy, the Voice Foundation, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Foundation, and the Big Easy Awards, among others. 

When she is not writing, performing, or touring internationally, Sarah works as a music teacher and vocal coach to help others find the power of their own voices. She is a certified speech therapist and a member of the Memphis chapter of the Grammy Foundation, where her research highlights the importance of creating vocal care pathways for Louisiana's cultural bearers and oral traditions. 

She will be accompanied by Raphaël Imbert (saxophones), Pierre-François Blanchard (piano), France Duclairoir (double bass), Julie Saury (drums), and a few surprise guests !
