It was at the age of seven that Sarah received her first guitar as a Christmas gift. That was the beginning of life as a singer and guitarist.The early years were spent playing country and pop, learning songs by John Denver and the Eagles gathering songs into her repertoire.
She gained her experience from competitions until around the age of 16, when she was first booked to perform professionally in and around her home town of Exeter, Devon.
Sarah began songwriting from the age of 10, but it wasn’t until her later teenage years that the words began to flow more easily.. Her early songs were based on her limited life experiences and the lyrics and music reflected that.
In 2014 Sarah released her Debut EP “Broke Away” and then through circumstances both personal and out side of her control, it would be four years until the follow up album “That was Then” was released. Both Recordings were produced by the Talented Richard Digby Smith (led Zeppelin, Reef, Bob Marley, Free) The next Two recording projects are underway and Sarah intends there to be a more acoustic feel to some to the songs, Reflecting her live performances.
With so many favourite artists and bands to influence Sarah, such as Show Of Hands, Eagles, Josh Groban, Jason Isbell, John Mayer, Toto, Amos Lee, Garth Brooks, Glen Hansard, Lady Antebellum, to name a few…it’s plain to hear the versatility and sensitivity in her Music
Sarah eats and breaths songwriting and her favourite inspirational place is New York City..Where she has spent time with family on the upper east side. There are many songs in her songbook about that place that haven’t yet made it to the recording booth but it just shows the power of certain places to bring out songs…
Sarahs recent composition “I’m on my way” was written in San Diego, California, and was recorded then and there in sonic studios in the Californian Hills.
“What a great experience recording with the wonderful guys at sonic..that song is now a great memory of my time spent in the west coast of America”
Sarah continues to go from strength to strength introducing yet more audiences to her honest, compelling songs, and is looking forward to playing some fantastic venues throughout 2019.
