Sarah White is a songwriter who might resemble some kind of Hazel Dickens/Patti Smith/Cat Power love child. She's released records on Jagjaguwar and Antenna Farm and won Best Song at the 2007 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest. Her 2008 album White Light became a cult favorite for its eclectic blend of driving folk-rock, sorrowful country ballads and experimental, personal narrative songs -- the trifecta that defines her lengthening body of work. These days Sarah performs solo or with her band, a a dynamic hybrid of pop, honky tonk, and post-punk that owes as much to Gun Club and X as Wilco and Lucinda Williams.
