A Little Bit About Sarina Haggarty...

Sarina will be performing on the Rotary Square this Saturday, April 16th from 8:00am to 10:30am.

Winner of the Slight Communications Inc and FCLMA’s Fan Favourite. London’s own Sarina Haggarty works diligently at her craft and performance every single day. She grew up performing, so when she sang alongside Shawn Mendes and make-a-wish for 22,000 fans, it felt like coming home. She regularly uses her music to serve others in the community with her melodic stylings, thoughtfully crafted songs and her wicked sense of humour. Sarina’s cross-over sound appeals to pop indie alternative and country audiences alike. Her 3rd album is scheduled for release in summer 2022.

Inspired by the storytelling that exists in the diverse genre of folk music Noelle writes in a way that is simple, honest and deeply emotional. Noelle is a witty and charismatic performer who draws in the audience with her joy. She meshes a lighthearted presence and stage banter with emotionally charged, uplifting and sometimes haunting songs.
