Description

Award-winning songwriter. International road warrior. American roots outlaw.

For the better part of two decades, Sara Petite has blazed her own trail, carving out a mix of forward-thinking country, bluegrass, amplified folk, and Springsteen-sized rock & roll. It's a sound that blurs the boundaries between genres, created by a charismatic frontwoman who's never been afraid to buck trends or speak her mind. With Rare Bird, her sixth record,
she widens her range once again, filling the album's tracklist with highway anthems, heartland rockers, lushly-layered Americana ballads, and even a gospel-influenced tribute to civil rights leader John Lewis.

Raised in the rural farming town of Sumner, Washington, Petite launched her songwriting career after moving to San Diego. There, 2,000 miles away from Nashville, she developed her version of country music ? one whose rough edges and raw, honest delivery owed as much to the dive bar as the honky-tonk. Starting with her 2006 debut, Coming Home, she
funneled her personal experience into universal songs about loss, love, victories, vices, and the long journey toward authenticity. Too twangy for modern-rock radio and too rockin' for buttoned-up country fans, her music occupied its own sonic space. Petite didn't sound like anyone else; she just sounded like herself. A rare bird, indeed.

"This album alternately made me want to sing along, dance, and yes, even cry, and it?s my feeling that if this record doesn?t move you in some similar way, you should probably check your pulse" AMERICAN HIGHWAYS
?There is no medical evidence to prove that Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith and Carrie Rodriguez joined forces to mother a fully grown musician daughter. But if they did, Sara Petite would be the likely outcome? SAN DIEGO UNION TIMES.
