Her sound rocks and rolls with just the right amount of country and pop influence. Sarah has been spreading this excitement throughout North America since 2006, having her music featured in the <em>Lions Gate feature film "Cabin Fever 2"</em>, opening for pop sensation Kate Voegele at Toronto's Opera House in 2009, and receiving recognition for her song <em>Then Run Away</em>, being named Best Folk Song by <em>Toronto Exclusive magazine</em> in 2009. A relentless road warrior who spends months on the road at a time, Sarah released her debut EP <a style="color: #9e0101; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/love-is-for-pussies/id305052243" target="_blank"><strong><em>Love is for Pussies</em></strong></a> in 2007, with Juno-award winning producer John Switzer, and followed it up in 2010 with her full-length album <a style="color: #9e0101; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mayflower/id360475024" target="_blank"><strong><em>Mayflower</em></strong></a>;</p> <center><span style="color: #be3507;"><strong><em>"a country dusted folk album of steel guitars and sweet sorrow"</em></strong><em><br /> Brad Wheeler, The Globe &amp; Mail</em></span></center> <p><strong><em>Mayflower</em></strong> is a powerful, well received collection of folk-rock music that forays into country and pop rhythms. Acoustic, steel and electric guitars make their mark on the songs and themes of travel, luck and love affairs are dispersed amid the collection, ranging from edgy and independent, to vulnerable and romantic. Accompanying the Mayflower release is a video for <a style="color: #9e0101;" href="http://youtu.be/hX4Pxm62PvE" target="_blank"><strong><em>How Good You Are</em></strong></a>, thanks to a grant from Videofact, released in February 2011.
