Biography
Sarah C. Hanson was born in Nome, Alaska 1974. Her family moved to Juneau, Alaska in 1977. She played guitar for the first time in Bellingham, Washington spring 1998 when a young man taught her two chords at a party.
Her recordings so far include "All I Can See," "Breaking Strings," "Something More than Beautiful," and this year's "Treasure A Storm Can Bring."
Her first recording is called Something More Than Beautiful. It is thoughtful and relaxing with a playful twist at the end. Her second recording is called Breaking Strings and is quite playful. She worked with a handful of other musicians, including 3 different bass players.
Sarah says, "I would say that my first recording was about working through emotions as well as love songs and stories. My second recording is mostly stories, and love songs and working through things. There's always a degree of problem solving going on in my songs. That's where the majority of my inspiration comes from.
What I love most about what I do is getting to perform my stories and thoughts. What I love next about what I do is how my art is providing for me. It's like growing a garden of food that nourishes me rather than having to go out to purchase groceries."
Her jazz infused, bluegrass/folk sound is backed by violins, acoustic guitar, string bass, mandolins and other instruments. Complex, rich, earthy, intriguing, yet accessible, her music is well worth searching out.
