Sara Leanne: Uprooted

Sara Leanne presents Uprooted, a debut EP of original songs, at the Copper Bar in Band on the Wall, a concert venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Alor provides support.

Manchester-based singer-songwriter Sara Leanne draws on blues, folk and classic singer-songwriter writing, with Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Eva Cassidy among the influences named. The songs deal with grief, love and loss, set to melodies and harmonies that are built to carry personal storytelling.

The evening marks the release of Uprooted, the debut EP, whose original tracks were written during a year of major change across family, love, friendship and music. Sara Leanne will also revisit older songs and offer a first listen to new material. Alongside this solo work, Sara Leanne performs as Christine McVie with Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, a project endorsed by Mick Fleetwood, and has played venues including l'Olympia, Tempodrom and Cadogan Hall.

The Copper Bar is part of Band on the Wall at Swan Street in the Northern Quarter, a venue that mainly hosts concerts. The performance is backed by Manchester-based musicians, and Alor is the support act.
