Toronto singer songwriter Sarah Vanderzon dropped her debut single “Are You With Me” back in August, the first taste of her EP ‘Fortune Teller’ which arrived October 17th. The sweet and soulful track showcases Vanderzon’s impressive vocal control and range as she glides through the musical landscape with effortless grace. Originally written as an open letter to her partner, the song explores the reality of a musician’s life spent traveling between venues, sometimes packed and sometimes empty, asking whether love can survive the constant motion. Vanderzon describes her EP as what a first date should feel like, honest and easy going, and “Are You With Me” became an instant crowd favourite when she tested it at live shows.
The debut EP ‘Fortune Teller’ introduced a fresh voice in the Americana, folk and country space, revealing Vanderzon’s stylistic versatility and dedication to her craft. After winning the 2024 Emerging Artists Showcase at Boots & Hearts, she signed with Universal Music Canada and returned to perform at the festival on The Front Porch stage. Sarah and her self proclaimed Vanderband also took the stage at Montreal’s LASSO music festival in August, marking the beginning of an exciting upward trajectory for this talented newcomer who’s proving she knows how to carve her own path in the current music scene.
