Pride Villager April

Sarah Smith Rocks! Most likely you’ve seen Sarah Smith before. As lead singer for Canadian rock band The Joys she earned international stardom, performed with the likes of Bif Naked, The Trews, Sam Roberts and Bedouin Soundclash. The Joys catapulted themselves all over the map and rode the radio waves across North America. Now Sarah has gone solo. Proving that her powerhouse vocal talent needs no accompaniment with her debut album Stronger Now, Sarah is killing it on her own! Anyone that knows Sarah can attest to her extreme work ethics and dedication to her music and fans. Her down to earth nature reflects in her songwriting. Her devotion is evidenced in her successes so far. Sarah’s songwriting always comes from the heart. “My music is honest and raw” says Sarah “Just my feelings coming out into music”. Sarah comes from a London, Ontario musical family and after learning piano and drums, taught herself to play the guitar at age 12. “Music has always been an outlet for me to express myself” says Sarah. When she’s not working, Sarah loves to spend time with friends. She values her friendships and makes a point of stopping in to see them whenever she has a chance. Sarah will be performing at the Pride Festival Sunday July 29th at 3pm in the park...after the parade.

“The Pride community in London has become a family. They are there to embrace you, love you and hold your hand through the trenches. Together, we celebrate each other’s other's uniqueness and uplift one another on life's journey. Whether it be a smile from across the room, a high-five in passing, a loving hug or a shared drink, we have found life-long friendships with one another. I'mno longer ashamed to be who I am. Instead I feel welcomed, belonged and loved.” Sarah Smith
