sensational voice, ‘Nothing Left To Play’ was the first installment from

Launching her new EP “Nothin’ But Love” at the 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival, brought a massive musical year full circle for Queensland-based singer songwriter. It’s no surprise she has been receiving such recognition, this 2007 graduate from the Australian College of Country Music has been working diligently on her music for over a decade, honing her skills as both a singer and songwriter and performing at all sorts of venues around the country as a solo artist.
While residing
in Nashville, Sarah attended co-writing sessions with the likes of world-class
songwriters Lauren Lucas and Ben Daniel, and leading industry icons such as Bob
Regan and Byron Hill, and worked under the guidance of her Nashville-based
producer B.James Lowry. This EP follows the 2011 release of Sarah’s debut EP,
“Girl Like Me”, produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studios on the
Central Coast of Australia.

”One Kind Word” –
”Really nice album, beautiful ballad on
the end, I think they’re really good, very strong bluegrass album” - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Formed in 2011
as a collective of the Bay Area’s finest young acoustic talent, Adam
Roszkiewicz, Jacob Groopman, Jordan Klein, Leif Karlstrom, Melody Walker and
Zach Sharpe joined forces to play a monthly gig with friends in San Francisco’s
Mission District. They quickly
found a musical rapport that was open to
challenging arrangements, unique covers and original songwriting. Since then
they have continued to expand their repertoire and push the boundaries of
bluegrass on the national scene. In 2012 they won the Rockygrass band
competition in Colorado and followed up in 2013 with a win at Telluride
becoming the third band in history to win both contests. Also in 2013 lead
singer Melody Walker won the Chris Austin Songwriting competition at Merlefest
and mandolinist Adam Roszkiewicz was nominated for Grammy for his work with the
Modern Mandolin Quartet on their album "Americana".
2013 and early
2014 has seen Front Country break onto the national scene with festival
performances at Rockygrass, Old Settlers Music Festival, Wintergrass, Grass
Valley Bluegrass Festival and many others along with headlining performances at
the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. In addition to performances at
Telluride, Summergrass and IBMA's Wide Open Bluegrass Festival, 2014 will see
the release of their highly anticipated debut album "Sake of the
Sound" in September....Read More
The band is currently the biggest
Bluegrass band in America
