“I was putting too much emphasis on my music making me successful…so I put it away.” In the fourth episode of our Artists on the Cape Series, singer/songwriter Sarah Burrill takes us through various journeys through life. She talks about how she began her journey as a singer/songwriter at the age of three when she saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, the challenges of the entertainment industry, her difficulties and struggles with addiction and how that affected her music, and her battle with a rare form of invasive breast cancer. She shares what she has learned from each of these phases of her life, about not tying our talent to our success, about expectations and resentment, and about the power of love from your entire community to help heal both the body and the spirit.
