What's this flashing box sucking out my brain?

Sarah was born into a Midwestern dynasty in South Dakota during the Reagan administration. She moved to Vermont to study music and be a bar wench, then moved west to Colorado to be a recovering college grad. Sarah just completed a year as a Public Allies Fellow at Eagle Rock School.
Sarah's musical interests span jazz, soul, folk and chamber singing; classical piano and chamber composition; songwriting of the indie/folk persuasion; learning songs in foreign languages, and other things ethnomusicological. She pretends to play banjo, bass and concertina and actually plays piano, saxophone and cello. Someday, she would like to do a stint in the Cape Verde islands.
Sarah has performed in Vermont, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Colorado, at such venues as Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis; Langden Street Cafe in Montpelier; Radio Bean in Burlington; Avogadro's Number in Fort Collins; Mary's Lake Lodge in Estes Park; Folsom Street Coffee, Cafe Babu, Conor O'Neil's, Burnt Toast and the Laughing Goat in Boulder.

Crazyhearse - Support VT Transylvanian swamp folk. The ex-lead singer's a guy I kissed one new year's after meeting him at a gay bar in Burlington, half because he said he liked my music. Then I told him I'd knee him if he tried anything and he crashed on my friend's sister's couch. He is now my myspace friend. But we had a sort of falling out.
Louis Ledford - Louis Ledford is a fantastic songwriter and human being, and hilarious to boot. I've made myself a fool over him a few times. And written songs about it. I think he recently moved to New Orleans.
Rachel Ries - Rachel Ries is a songwriter from my native state of South Dakota who now lives in Chicago. She has an incredible, lilting voice and a savvy folk/sweet jazz style. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.
