The release of Albuquerque Sky proves up-and-coming
country music powerhouse, Sarah Peacock, is a contender in several Nashville
music arenas. A talented songwriter, she wrote or co-wrote all sixteen tracks
on the recording, which smoothly melds pop country and Americana with a dash of
rock, a la Ann Wilson.
As a multi-instrumentalist, she’s just as comfortable grabbing the reins from
any member of her band at any time, a feat that has been known to happen
occasionally during a live show. The first impression, however, centers around
her distinctive, powerful “smoky” voice, as it was aptly described by renowned
music journalist, Craig Havighurst, following a performance at the famed Music
City Roots show.
Sarah’s sound has garnered fans in both the general listening population and
the media alike, as she has performed on several news shows and been featured
in several magazines and newspapers. Most notably, she wrote and performed a
song, Hurricane, on the CBS Morning Show, "The Couch", in NYC on Nov
13, 2012. Having experienced Hurricane Sandy on her northeast tour in November
2012, Sarah wrote it as a tribute to the victims, and all iTunes sales are
benefitting the Sandy relief effort. During Hurricane Sandy aftermath, Peacock
also performed a benefit, raising nearly $1,000 for Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen.
Sarah Peacock displays an effortless, seasoned professionalism rarely heard in
the mainstream music world, in part due to her extensive touring history. Just
last year, she performed over 250 dates! The other part can only be credited to
an innate, instinctive gift, which she has grown and cultivated from the young
age of eleven. Throughout her teenage years, she continued to hone her
wide-ranging skills, and she received a degree in commercial music from the
esteemed Belmont University. It’s been full steam ahead ever since, with no
signs of slowing down!
