This week’s PBS Feature Album is NQR&B by the 'Ukulele Queen of the Bellarine', Sarah Carroll.
NQR&B is a collection which celebrates Sarah's great loves and her unique life, with a career spanning over 30 years as a performer. Her songs chime with sincerity and deal largely with her life as a teacher, mother, wife, political animal and touring musician.
Opening track, Done To, written during Victoria's third lockdown, declares that "we are flowers reaching up higher", and sets the tone perfectly for the honest reflection and compassion sewn into the songs.
Sarah has performed at most of Australia's high-profile festivals, noted for her work with GIT, The Pirates Of Beer, Soft Gold, The Left Wing, The Junes and The Cartridge Family. She has enjoyed supporting high-profile artists at home such as Kinky Friedman (USA), Mic Conway, Old Man Luedecke (Canada), Eddi Reader (Scotland), Renee Geyer, Tim Rogers, Richard Clapton, Vika And Linda Bull, Monique Brumby and one of Australia's finest songmen, Neil Murray. In the USA, she works with the likes of Anne McCue, Tommy Womack and Bill Kirchen.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from NQR&B and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday July 21. Please note vinyl giveaways must be picked up from the station in Collingwood.
