Sarah McCulloch is an award-winning folk singer-songwriter and country artist, known for her exceptional ability to weave captivating stories through her music. Born in Miami, McCulloch was raised in a swampy remote enclave of northeastern Collier County, near the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation. Her family built their home with hand-milled cypress from her Father’s sawmill. She was homeschooled for most of her formative years and drew songwriting inspiration from her colorful childhood, surrounded by the Seminole Tribe and Florida pioneers. Her latest full-length album, ‘Driving Me Home,’ was released in May of 2024. Produced by Jim Bickerstaff and written entirely by McCulloch, it’s a mostly acoustic, folky combination of 12 brand new songs, steeped in the homespun country/folk storytelling that McCulloch is becoming well known for. One of the tracks, “Everglades City 1985,” won the 2025 Will McLean Best New Florida Song Contest. Sarah also won the South Florida Folk and Acoustic Music Festival’s 2024 Songwriting Competition with her performances of “Hippie Tattoo” and “Luella.” Sarah’s was recently recognized by the State of Florida’s Division of Arts and Culture for her significant contribution to country music. Her music is being added to the state’s Folklife Program’s online encyclopedia of Florida music.
