As a songwriter and a performer, Sarah Masen has won the enthusiasm of critics and a committed, eclectic fan base for over 10 years. Whether immersed in electronica or as solo acoustic broadsides, her work speaks to all things awkward, political, dysfunctional, and seemingly mundane. Intense attentiveness to her music has been known to lead listeners toward jumping, jiving, weeping, wailing, and laughing through gnashing of teeth.
Originally from the suburbs of Detroit, Sarah now lives in Nashville with her husband, author David Dark , and their three children. In recent months, she's taken to recording music with the members of Bulb and making little handcrafted EPs , with each sleeve following the snowflake model of containing a slightly different work of art. Three titles are available on-line: Woman's Work Is Alchemy, Magic That Works, and A History of Lights and Shadows

"Where Masen stands apart is in her literary approach to songwriting. She is a young woman in love with words, ideas, imagination. She has a God-given ability to express the light and the dark, and the shades where we all walk in between... Her songs are dangerous because they're honest, and auspicious because they're drenched in grace." —Steve Stockman, author of Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2
