 "All songs are living ghosts, and long for a living voice."- Frank Harte

 

 

The name "Banshanachie" means  "the woman storyteller", and in this case the Banshanachie is Sarah Underhill, a Hudson Valley singer , songwriter and song collector who learned to sing on her Mother's knee and has been amassing a folk repertoire ever since. Former second mate/engineer on the Hudson River Sloop "Clearwater" [circa 1979], she was a mainstay of the Hudson River Sloop Singers throughout the 80's and 90's, and has worked with the People's Music Network/Songs For Freedom & Struggle since 1990. Her unaccompanied ballad singing has captivated many an audience, and her many talented musician friends complement the songs with an intricate blend of  Celtic guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, flute and drum.
