FEBRUARY 26th: New Podcast!! here! Podcast 20 features an Oscar wrapup (like there haven’t been enough) and a new song called "La La La". You’ll sing along...
...Sarah Dashew (pronounced like cashew with a d) grew up sailing around the world with her family, listening to Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison and Janis Joplin. She learned to play guitar at sea and later began singing in a gospel choir. After a few years of performing in Austin, Texas, Sarah moved to Los Angeles and began working with legendary producer Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan).
Sarah’s album Jealous Girl is the result of two years of writing and playing in Los Angeles. It was one of the greatest thrills in her life when Chuck said, "You’re ready. Let’s make a record!"
All 12 tracks are written by Sarah. She was joined in the studio by musicians who had played on some of her all-time favorite records. They include Gary Mallaber on drums (Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band), Jennifer Condos on bass (Bruce Springsteen, Joe Henry) and Mark Goldenberg on lead guitar (Jackson Browne). Texas features Marty Rifkin (Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen) on pedal steel. Singer-songwriter Dan Bern adds cello to the stark, powerful Cannot Make the Call. The album was engineered by Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Natasha Bedingfield). The upbeat track Hash it Out has already been heard on the hit TV show My Name is Earl. Jealous Girl is an irresistible journey, from the relentlessly honest title track to the final, soul-soothing Morningtime.
