Sara learned to sing country music by studying the best. Raised where wild huckleberries grow in Summer, Washington – a tulip-farming town southeast of Seattle – she listened to Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. When Petite was 6, she and her twin sister fell in love with Loretta Lynn when they saw "Coal Miner's Daughter." Her mother would get her albums from the library, and when people came over to visit, she and her sister would sing the songs together, standing on top of the coffee table, using a jump rope as a microphone. Her all-time favorite artists leant her their vocal inflections and, most importantly, gave her a respect and admiration for country music. “I don’t always consider myself a country artist,” she says. “My songs range from bluegrass to country to rock ‘n’ roll, but I know my voice sounds distinctly country.”

Her music has been identified as “progressive country,” though as American country music has adopted more of what was once pop music’s Triple A format, to be progressive is to celebrate the roots of the genre. Those are story songs that revive fond memories of history, home and travels. Sara grew up riding in her Dad’s seaplane and on the back of his motorcycle. Her mother raised a trio of women and a son. From the stage, Sara tells the story of visiting with family, where she and her twin sister were surprised to find an indoor outhouse.

She always shares stories from the stage. It isn't her whole show, but it is usually a piece that people remember. Inspiration for her songs comes from broken hearts and those full of hope. She speaks with obvious relish when relating stories of such colorful characters as her grandfather, who as a pioneering representative of the aviation industry, sold a plane to Elvis. Another tale is about her Uncle Irving, the patriarch who purchased the Tiger Mountain property in Washington, which became the family's emotional home base.

For her upcoming CD, Sara follows the musical path she began laying down on “Tiger Mountain” and “Lead the Parade” though this time it is tempered with a taste of the more rocking but still roots-based music of artists such as Steve Earle. Production is now finishing up with Eddie Gore producing. The new recording is created and recorded with professional studio musicians at Insomnia Recording Studio in Nashville.
