Sarah-leigh Burger
Sarah-leigh Burger has spent majority of her musical journey in an alternative folk band called The Fishwives, as a songwriter and guitarist. Born in Centurion, brought up on Fleetwood mac, Dire straits, and dry winters veiled by veld fire smoke, she started playing and writing at 14.
She left to study in Mkanda (Grahamstown), where she found like-minded fishy-folk to jam on patios, and croon in smoky bars with. It was here, fueled by the Arts Festival, that a band was created. She moved to Cape Town in 2015 with The Fishwives, where they played at numerous musical venues such as Alma Cafe, Barleycorn, Mercury, Cottage Club and became mostly popular in the deep south and played frequently at Camel Rock.
They released their first album in 2019, called Algae, and their second in 2021 called In Flourescence (found on all streaming platforms).They've played at numerous festivals, including Grahamstown Arts Festival, Oppikoppi, Rocking the Daisies, White Mountain, Wild Spirit New Years Festival and STRAB. They won Silver in the Fresh Music Category at the Cape Town Fringe Festival in 2016.
Inspired by artists such as Keb'mo, Laura Marling, and Mark Knopfler, Sarah shares stories of Sirens, Cats and the blues on sunny days with poetry and (mostly) gentle guitar melodies.
