Sarah writes earnest lyrics set to strong melodies, accompanying herself on piano or guitar (and occasionally ukulele or foot stomps). The roots music heritage of her native North Carolina runs in her blood and overflows in her music. A member of (and contributing songwriter in) the Martha Bassett Band, she is stepping out to explore her voice not only as a writer but also as a solo performer in and around her home of Winston-Salem.
Sarah made her public singing debut in 1991, at age 4, sitting on top of a piano played by her dad and singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow." They reprised that performance at her wedding in 2017 in lieu of the traditional father-daughter dance. Sarah grew up on the likes of The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan; her current musical obsessions/influences include Jason Isbell, Julien Baker, Dar Williams, and her many musician friends.
