background
Sarah’s music kills me; beautifully from the ground up, no plastic.
— Dave Matthews

Her strong roots rock and country music influences are grounded in punk instincts, inviting comparisons to a wide spectrum of artists from Hazel Dickens and Chan Marshall to Kathleen Edwards and Jeff Tweedy.
