The mythic Mississippi River and surrounding waters flooded my heart and my home, to become the medium of my music and keeper of my hope in a place where we are literally sinking.

SARAH QUINTANA

A fierce guitarist with an angelic voice—Sarah Quintana weaves the rich influences of cajun, jazz and folk music into her songwriting. Quintana is looking back on a decade of music—collaborations with Louisiana-based artists like Michael Doucet, The Generationals, Leyla McCalla, The New Orleans Moonshiners.

"Quintana is a great addition to New Orleans expression. Her music is refreshing as rainfall."
