Sarah Kinsley

Sarah Kinsley plays Button Factory in Dublin, Ireland, on 20 May 2026. The New York-based singer, songwriter and producer shapes a DIY-minded pop that leans on precise songwriting and layered arrangements. Trained on piano and violin, she builds pieces where voice, strings, keyboards and subtle electronics intertwine, with structures that evolve and rise gradually without overstatement.

First noticed with the EP The King in 2021, she widened the scope on Cypress (2022), shifting between intimate ballads and more rhythmic cuts. Ascension (2023) pushed her detailed production further, while her debut album Escaper (2024) tied these threads into a clearer narrative, keeping melody at the center and leaving room for experimentation.

On stage, Kinsley pares the setup down and reshapes studio layers into live textures, balancing synths, strings and vocals with a focus on tension and release. The show plays on contrast and dynamics rather than effects, letting arrangements breathe and highlighting the craft behind the songs.
