Just don't ask me to play the tambourine...

About Me

Sarah Morris is a singer-songwriter who somewhat recently moved back to her homestate of Minnesota, after living in Nashville, TN for 4 fantastic years. She is classically trained, but tries her very best to apply that technique to singing her favorite kind of songs: old school country and jazz, folk, and Britney Spears. She plays the guitar, but is at her best behind the microphone, especially if she is singing harmony. Currently she is performing around the Twin Cities with her husband, Aleksi Medved and/or the excellent Eric Blomquist accompanying her on the Guitar...Sarah spent a few weeks in the studio this summer putting together a little acoustic-y 5-song CD or EP or whatever you call it, which is available right now! Woo Hoo! Now that she lives in St. Paul she is always looking for new musical venues and collaborations. She still refuses to play the tambourine in public however...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/19/2006
Band Members: Now that I live in Minnesota, my band consists of my husband, Aleksi Medved, on guitar, and me. We are also trying to teach our dog, Detective Lenny Briscoe how to play the tambourine, but so far we have found little success. Sometimes my brother, Joel, plays bass with us which makes me very happy. When Mr. Medved has to study (which is most of the time these days!) I get to have Eric Blomquist play guitar with me - he also recorded/mixed my recent EP. Go Eric!
Influences: Alison Krauss, Nickel Creek, Patty Loveless, Patty Griffin, ABBA, Johnny Mathis, Ella Fitzgerald, Karen Carpenter, Vince Gill, Allison Moorer, Kelly Willis, Mindy Smith, Steely Dan, the Beatles, David Bowie, Harry Connick Jr., Barbra Streisand, Laurie Parker, recently I have fallen in love with Don Williams...
