"Low Fi indi pop, Bird to Prey frey's her feyness with sudden brief bursts of energy" - CMJ Music Marathon 08 

Currently based in New York City, Australian born artist 'Bird to Prey' (Sarah Turk) is an explorer of sorts. Exploring in her music the sounds of her influences which range from old school jazz, to grunge, to country, blues, and more. Also exploring in her songs the influences of the landscapes and history of the countries and cities she has travelled to, and lived in since she first left her home town at the age of 19.

Born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia, Sarah drove across the desert to the Port town of Perth, Western Australia (known also for being 'the most isolated capital city in the world'). In 2001. Not knowing a single soul, she began writing songs inspired by her remoteness, and once she began performing it didn't take long for her to establish herself a reputation as a powerful yet fragile performer whose shows were a joy to watch.

Sarah has come a long way since those wide eyed days and taken her music all over the world, performing in Toronto, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Ireland. She has had the honour of supporting the likes of Jeff Lang, Teddy Thompson (Son of folk legend Richard Thompson) Dom Mariani (The Stems), Jeff Martin (The Tea Party) and the New Pornographers. She has performed at NXNE and CMJ Music Marathon in New York City in 2008 and 2012. New Album 'Saved by the Storm' is out now through Such a Punch Media: iTunes http://birdtoprey.bandcamp.com/ http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/birdtoprey2

“At times seeming to pinch melodies from Heartbreaker-era Ryan Adams or early Tom Waits, and who could blame her, her minimalist guitar playing and swagger served her balladry brilliantly.” – Drum Media
