Sarah, who has been compared to singers such as Fiona Apple, learned guitar from her father while she was still in middle school and it's been sweet music ever since. She counts Jump Little Children, Mike Willis and the Escape Artists, The Counting Crows, and No Doubt among the influences for her pop and blues driven acoustics. She's graced the stages of countless venues across Georgia including The Georgia Theatre, Tasty World, Red Light Cafe, 106 West, Nuci's Space, Buffington's, Last Call, Wild Wing Cafe, DT's Downunder, and Flicker Theater where she shared the stage with artists such as David Mead, Bain Mattox, and the Escape Artists. She was also awarded first place at the 2004 Athens MUSIC Project Open Mic Competition.

Along with playing numerous venues, Sarah has also made several live radio appearances. First appearing on Atlanta's 99X Morning Show "Your Big Break with Barnes, Leslie and Jimmy", Sarah performed her fast-paced and upbeat hit "Freaks Like Me." She branched out a few years later, performing two originals, "This Old Jacket" and "Natural Star" for Z97's Sunday ritual, "Almost Famous," a gig that put her in frequent rotation on the Milledgeville station.
