2003/2007 various Press Releases

Folk-Pop, Jazz-Blues, Scat-Vocals and just a hint of avant-garde: Sara K., the singer-songwriter based in Santa Fe, New Mexico (originally from Dallas, Texas), has never paid much attention to musical 'borders'. With her excitingly expressive voice and 4-string (!) guitar, she occupies a niche that is no less unique than the stories she sings. Sara has lived these stories, is right in the middle of them and relates them from the heart - warm, personal and moving.

With this personal stamp, her musical and vocal versatility and the incredible warmth and clarity of her songs, Sara has created a fan-base in Germany that extends far beyond the borders of the guitar genre. Her desire for perfection, both in the studio and on stage, has also enabled her to sing and play her way into the hearts of the hi-fidelity gourmets.

"Let's be honest, live albums are often bland, the songs faded versions of opulent studio-productions. This one is different. The songwriter from Texas and her sideman grow together during the concert into groove-monsters. Her 4-string guitar and his steel-string/dobro drive songs like 'All Your Love (turned to passion)' irresistibly onward and Sara growls, squeaks and squeals with a truly high-end sound. Huge."

" The superb Ms. Sara K has crafted an album that flows seamlessly from beginning to end with self penned material exhibiting heart and intellect. Her songs on Water Falls are performed by experienced players who convey the pleasure and satisfaction that comes from doing what they love at such a high level. …
Her voice is resonant, bluesy and powerful, yet manages to remain intimate. Among the sorority of similar artists, one of closest vocally might be Cassandra Wilson. Sara K is joined on Water Falls by an excellent group of mostly European musicians … All in all, Sara K's album Water Falls is excellent, addressing grownup concerns with heart, soul and intellect without ever losing the childlike joy inherent in friends playing together."

“ Sara K is an international hidden treasure. She is a superb singer with a range of emotion in her voice that will melt the coldest heart. She is a superb songwriter with an endless capacity to write a song that you will know in seconds and love for years. In fact “superb” seems to be the bottom line. Can anyone explain why there isn’t a Sara K CD in every collection? Hell or High Water is Sara K at her very very best.”
John Carver, The Morning After Show, PBS Australia
