Saritah

Saritah is an Australian singer-songwriter. Her own website describes her music as "vibrant rootsy acoustic earth grooves". She was born in Seoul, South Korea and brought up mostly in Perth, Western Australia. Nowadays she is based between Perth and London.

She trained classically on the piano and has since taught herself the acoustic guitar. Lately she has been playing the electric guitar and often uses a stompbox in solo performances.

She has supported the John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Ash Grunwald, Lion, Mick Hart and Paul Greene, and played at many live music festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland), Freo's West Coast Blues n Roots Festival and Fairbridge Festival. She is also lining herself up for another East Coast tour towards the end of 2005.

Saritah's debut album, "Gratitude" was released in May 2004 and is available from independent distributors and directly from www.saritah.com.

She plays both as a solo artist and with a band, which varies from a trio (with bass and drums) to, at a performance at Perth's own Funk Club, a seven-piece band complete with horn section.

Musicians that have played with or recorded with Saritah include :- Alexis Sadler, Matt Willis, Troy Gennoe, Gavin Arnold and Geoff Green on bass guitar; Dan DiPaola, Lorenzo ?, Olly Watkins, Paulie B and Reggie D'Souza on drums; Fredrico Duende on percussion; Tony ? on keys; Ben Phillips and Ella Westbury on sax; Ziggy Bey Jan as a guest vocalist; Ricki Malet and Jimmy 'the lips' Murphy on trumpet; and many other notable Perth, Austalian and international musicians along the way.

The next EP is currently in the final stages of recording, to be released towards the end of 2005.
