Sarah Elizabeth Charles doesn’t just sing – she inhabits her music. Her sound has been called “a genre of one” (DownBeat), blending jazz, soul, and R&B into something both poetic and urgent. With her long-time band, she creates performances that are collaborative, emotionally rich, and impossible to pin down.
Arriving in Stockholm just ahead of her fifth album Dawn, Charles brings new material inspired by her recent experience of becoming a parent. Her voice – described by the New York Times as “soulfully articulate, a mix of strong projection and subtle detail” – moves effortlessly between improvisation, melody, and message.
It’s jazz that grabs you. Politically sharp, sonically bold, and emotionally fearless.
