| With a voice compared to "human silk", Sara has been singing on stages from Boston, MA to Skagway, AK, and everywhere inbetween since 1996. She studied piano from an early age, but fell in love with the guitar when she strummed her first chord in 1992. While studying Anthropology at Tufts University outside Boston, Sara joined up with the Danielle Geihs Band as the guitarist and back up vocalist. While performing with the band, she recorded her first album, "Stamp Mileage". Upon the release of her debut album, Sara was invited to be a guest lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a class entitled "Women, Songwriting, and Performance".
The following fall, Sara moved to Portland, OR where she teamed up with Californian singer/songwriter Steven Pile, among several other local artists. Steven and Sara performed as Lillian's Sister (they later changed their name to Billy No. 9) and spent the summer of 2002 with drummer Justin Shannon touring southeast Alaska and the Yukon. The following winter the trio performed around northern California. After a few years in the Pacific Northwest, Sara took her music to San Francisco where she performed solo for a year while working on her second album, "Inertia", which was released this January. In the 12 months she spent in the Bay area, Sara performed at over 20 local venues. Sara moved again this summer, this time to Austin, TX where she performs solo, as well as with Steven Pile. Sara was recently nominated a finalist in the Rising Star Songwriting Competition.
