"...a classic, country voice..."
Player and Teacher of Old Time Music along with a bit of Honky Tonk and early country, among other American Roots Music.
Sabra Guzman remembers beginning her musical journey as a youngster, banging away at the piano in Long Beach, CA. She began venturing into American Roots music when she found herself drawn to the guitar-styles and voices of country musicians such as Lefty Frizzell and Mother Maybelle Carter. Soon, with a guitar in one hand and a banjo uke in the other, she was off to France and Switzerland to partake in the old art of busking. Now, on the Eastern Seaboard, as she rests for a moment in Rockingham County, VA, Sabra continues to indulge in this roots music, working with guitar, stand-up bass and old time harmonies. Sabra has played with West Coast groups like The Crooked Jades and The Mercury Dimes, and most recently toured with Vermont's The Flat Iron String Band.

"Hard Times in the Country has a good variety of tunes and songs from different sources.
The harmony vocals between Sabra Guzman and J.P. Harris are something special;
they're strong and confident with elegant lines and nicely crafted harmonies,
and the stark backup is just the right contrast to set off the voices.
The instrumental tunes are well-played with energy and a danceable beat."
