LOS ANGELES, CA- Ac Sapphire’s music is all about telling stories painting images/themes with her lyrics. Her lovely folk-infused music is soaked with vivid imagery, and her latest effort, Omni Present, is a testament to that description. Lines like “There’s a thirsty willow, at the bottom of the hill, drinking all of the rain” (from “Thirsty Willow”), just kinds of sticks with you. When she swears that she “could disappear with the hourglass, maybe come in a year” with that descending melodic line, that’s about as sweet as it gets.
The storytelling is elevated to another level with her song “Desert Stars” and its accompanying music video. Of the song and video, Sapphire explains:
“Desert Stars is dedicated to three dear friends of mine that have passed. The song was written for one of them, the video was inspired by one of them and the video was filmed in the location of an art piece made by one of my dear friends that have passed. I want to dedicate Desert Stars to anyone who is going through the grief of losing a loved one.”
Ac Sapphire has shared the stage with household favorites such as First Aid Kit, Amos Lee, Langhorne Slim, as well as Victoria Williams. Ac Sapphire will be touring this spring with Lauren Ruth Ward in support of Omni Present. Upcoming shows are listed below.
