Part multi-faceted solo artist - singer, fiddler, songwriter, bandleader - Sara is also a sought-after accompanist in the rock, folk, Americana, and celtic music worlds, performing and recording throughout North and South America, Europe and beyond. Growing up on a farm in rural upstate New York, she began playing when she was four, and by 9 was leading her own band (the same time she learned to drive a tractor.) Winning awards for fiddling, singing, songwriting, and composing, she left school at 16 to hit the road. A diverse trajectory led her through a busy career as an accompanist and collaborator with such artists as Richard Shindell, Pete Seeger (on his Grammy-winning At 89 album), Eliza Gilkyson, Cathie Ryan, Mountain Quickstep, among others, while earning a degree in Biology from Cornell. She currently tours with her band Daisycutter- fellow adventurers from the varied music scenes of New York, whose music combines a wide-screen city view with a bracing dose of rural realism.
