Sarah Hiltz is a contemporary folk artist based in Toronto, Canada, who focuses on storytelling through both her narrative lyrics and the improvisational interplay built into her songs, trusting the music to act as guide through the uncertainties we face in life. Listeners can expect to be shepherded through the attendant complex emotions that arise when we encounter the unknown—whether it be humour, grief, joy, or fear—by Hiltz and her musicians, as they respond to each other and to the moment with intuition and sensitivity.
Hiltz has independently released four full-length albums and two EPs since 2009, including the most recent, CALM FURY (Mar 2022), a collection of songs that grew out of her research into the ways we experience, express and repress anger in modern society, especially women. Her work as a talented singer-songwriter has landed her Folk Music Ontario’s Songs From The Heart Award, opening slots for Canadian icons Gordon Lightfoot and Ron Hynes, a Best Folk Album nomination (Toronto Independent Music Awards) and earned her an invitation to give a TEDx talk in 2014.
