"Sarah Blair is simply a great fiddler. Her combination of grit and control makes for music with drive, lift, and a compelling earthiness." Fiddler Magazine.
"Sarah Blair is one of Vermont's finest fiddlers - her playing is a rare combination of heart and soul that balances with technique and an intimate knowledge of the culture behind the music. "Flower of the Red Mill" finally gives Sarah a chance to show her stuff on some of her own favorite material, and finally gives us a chance to hear how truly talented she is on CD!" Robert Resnik, Vermont Public Radio
"One thing's for sure: the lass has chops." Seven Days
"A powerful and soulful player. This is a highly recommended CD for those who enjoy Irish fiddling and want to hear Vermont's best Irish fiddler." Montpelier Times-Argus

Sarah Blair began playing Irish fiddle in Providence, Rhode Island's thriving traditional Irish music scene. She honed her playing as a sought-after session leader in Boston and in the world of American contra dancing. With her band The Sevens and with other ensembles, Sarah has played at festivals, concerts, and dance weeks from Alaska to Quebec to Florida, including a stint on tour with The Eagles' singer Don Henley. In 2001, the Sevens were featured on NPR in an interview with Noah Adams. She is included in "Handy with the Stick: Fiddler Magazine's Best of Irish fiddling," a forthcoming book profiling top Irish fiddlers by Brendan Taaffe. Her debut solo fiddle recording, "Flower of the Red Mill," includes slow airs and dance tunes played in duets and trios with concertina, flute, harp, piped, and guitar. Sarah spends much of her time teaching fiddle at home in Montpelier, Vermont.
