“There’s something captivating about jazz singer Sarah Frances Johnston. It’s Johnston’s voice that draws you. She takes to the mic with a soprano that’s at once smooth and vulnerable, delicate and confessional.”

“Great young vocalist, immensely appealing in an intimate setting.”
— John Katsilometes
The Las Vegas Sun
“New Zealand vocalist is as stunning visually as she is sonically. Her gorgeously simmering voice is like a coquettish Julie London. Jazz standards are her bag, but she also treats listeners to otherworldly renditions of The Cure’s “Love Song,” Portishead’s “Glory Box” and the aforementioned Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
The sight of her embracing an old-school jazz mic throughout her set is now forever seared into my imagination.”

testimonials
“I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah Frances Johnston in Las Vegas at our property, Red Rock Casino, Resort & Hotel. As an entertainment executive for almost 20 years, I can say unequivocally that she is one of the most amazing vocalists/torch singers we have had the pleasure of EVER working with. Sarah is also stunningly beautiful, and coupled with her vocal talents, she is the complete package.
Our audience response to her was overwhelming. In addition, she is a lovely human being and has been extremely easy to work with.

“Sarah's music set a sophisticated and relaxing tone for the evening. Many customers found themselves spellbound by Sarah's performance and soft gentle tones. When SKYCITY Adelaide launched their Premium Gaming Lounge I recommended Sarah straight away. Again Sarah had the exact same impact on Adelaide's premium customers.
Sarah is a true professional who works hard at her craft.”
