US chart-topping American singer-songwriter Sari Schorr is returning to UK stages to perform twelve headline shows in April and May – and has announced that she will premiere her eagerly anticipated new studio album ‘Running Wild’ across the UK dates.
Sari has been working across multiple albums, with ‘Running Wild’—set for release later in 2026. The album is regarded as her most ambitious to date. Sari explained “It moves naturally between different influences. You can hear blues at its core, but there are also elements of classic rock, soul, and even a few touches of jazz. For me, everything still begins with the song. If the song is strong and emotionally true, the rest tends to fall into place.”
Part of her UK setlist will include performances of songs from the Billboard Blues chart-topping ‘Joyful Sky‘ album that she recorded with guitar maestro Robin Trower, alongside highlights of ‘Never say Never‘ and her debut album ‘A Force of Nature‘ – which was produced by the veteran English record producer Mike Vernon who passed in March 2026.
Sari has always been full of praise for Mike, and his calm, assured manner, which influenced her growing stature as a singer-songwriter. Crowd-favourites tracks like ‘Ain’t Got No Money’ and ‘Oklahoma’ are likely to be performed as a tribute to her late mentor and are set to convey even more depth and poignancy.
This year, she returns with an expanded line-up, adding a classically trained keyboard player to deepen the sound and bring a richer, more soulful edge. Most dates feature special guests the Ashley Sherlock Band. The run concludes with a one-off acoustic evening in Lancashire alongside Jim Kirkpatrick, before Schorr heads on to continue her European tour.
Sari comments: “Britain was the springboard that helped me to grow an audience throughout Europe, and every time that I come back it feels a little bit like returning to where my journey first began.
“The live setting has always been central to Rock and Blues music, and the grassroots clubs and theatres around the UK need to be supported more than ever. I want to thank the people who support live shows and that is why they will hear my new album first. I have always focused on supporting local venues and saying a big thank you to those loyal music fans who help keep them open. Join us for some unforgettable nights of live music.”
Sari Schorr has previously collaborated with iconic artists such as Walter Trout, Kiefer Sutherland, Robin Trower and the late Marianne Faithfull.

About Sari Schorr:
With a five-octave range and a diverse vocal skill set, Sari Schorr sets herself apart. Born in Queens, New York, working the music scene on Manhattan’s Lower East Side to performing at Carnegie Hall and touring internationally, Sari Schorr directs her passion for music as a timeless force to unify people.
From her travels around the world, Sari sees music and the arts as under attack. Art and culture have always been a beacon of freedom and a unifying element of society. Music empowers and unites, accepts difference and values individualism.
Throughout Sari’s journey, life experiences—both heartbreaking and seemingly debilitating—have only deepened her aura of raw resilience and unwavering strength. Being a first responder after the 9/11 attacks, a volunteer aid worker after the Haiti earthquake, and doing humanitarian work in India have all shaped Sari‘s character and informed her music. Despite the pain she has witnessed, Sari finds silver linings in every experience. She stays true to her art, rejecting artificial success, empty glorification, and meaningless lyrics. Sari paves the way for a vision of unity made possible with a shared love for music, holding a mirror to the world to say we are all one people. People are kind, people are compassionate. Hate fuels discrimination, and fear stifles our ability to think creatively.
Throughout her career as a musician, Sari has been told to “shut up and sing” when speaking out on crisis or relevant societal topics such as gun control, racism and equality. Such irony can be drawn from this because Sari’s lyrics are entrenched in global issues and a passion that resonates with audiences of all cultures and geographies. No line is random and no word is empty in the music she writes. Topics like self-empowerment, confronting hatred, taking chances, embracing life, forgiveness and facing loneliness shape the heart of Sari‘s music, delivering raw, honest, and deeply resonant storytelling. Sari writes about the psychological toll of surviving domestic and sexual abuse, speaking for the disenfranchised and those facing injustice who do not have a voice.
