Sarah Sample
Singer/songwriter Sarah Sample was born in Utah and attended college in Utah, but she has moved more than twenty-two times in her short life, living in Texas, Georgia, California, and Oregon. She grew up in Santa Barbara, California until she was seventeen, then she moved back to Utah with her mother. Here she has developed a loyal following of fans. She comes from a musical family and was exposed to a variety of music as she grew up. She got her first guitar in the sixth grade, and is now an accomplished guitarist with a unique style. She counts among her musical influences Patty Griffin, Otis Redding, Bonnie Raitt, David Wilcox, Joni Mitchell, Blackalicious, Van Morrison, and more. She says, “I have always loved a stage. Performing is dear to my heart, especially in music, where there is a chance of connection and elevation that is inspiring to all involved.” She is now completing her internship at the Center for Music Therapy in Austin, Texas, for her degree in Music Therapy from Utah State University. And, yes, she’s also making a dent in the amazing Austin music scene. |
