SATURDAY CONCERTS
Presents
Sarah
Pierce, the daughter of a cowboy, raised in
afamily of cattlemen, wasborn in Rockford,
Illinoisand raised in rural West Texas. In the 6th
grade she was kicked out of the children’s choir
because she sang too low...her incredible alto
voice already making itself be known. She would
later get on her mare and sing to the cattle in
the fields, as Pierce says “They didn’t seem to
mind”.
Sarah's dream of becoming a legitimate singer began to take shape at age 12, singing in her stepfathers band. Always studying voice, after receiving her degree in medical science she began her musical journey. One that she is still traveling today. Sarah
has toured hundreds of thousands of miles both
domestic and foreign - receiving rave reviews at
fairs, festivals, conventions, and concert dates
from New York City to Los Angeles and Northern
British Columbia to San Antonio, France, Italy,
Germany, and Scandinavia. Her willingness to
self-promote her music has included a driving tour
of 250 NPR/AC/Country radio stations across the
country, doing interviews and live on-air
performances. In addition, she has been seen in
performance on MTV and was heard as the singing
voice of Calamity Jane on the Emmy-nominated
Time-Life television mini-series, The Wild West.
With the release of her eighth album, Bring It On,
and the first single, Butterfly Tattoo, going to
#5 in the nation on Independent Country Charts,
Sarah once again was able to show that she is an
absolutely viable artist both commercially and
more importantly creatively. Sarah then released
her 9th CD, Barbed Wire. Sarah's new CD, Blessed
By The West, will be released 4/22/2024! Version:0.9
