notes
Sarah Stanley's soulful, often humorous songs might make you laugh, but you'll often almost cry for her heartbreak.
Born into a family torn between Hawaii and Texas, she fronted popular Honolulu college bands "The Code" and the improperly named "Four Guys and a Girl".
She then relocated to Los Angeles, where she sang lead for Santana protégé Marino's project, "Sweet Miser", and moved on to doing harmonies for renowned Largo band, "Steve's Main Squeeze".
While enjoying success as and actor and writer, (including some sitcom deals and an HBO special) she continued to write songs, including "The Tattoo Song", which appears in the Showtime movie "Peacock Blues" and indie feature "Milemarker Forty." After some personal heartbreak, Stanley decided to focus on singing and songwriting, and has been playing to high acclaim in Los Angeles Americana clubs -- 'Taix Lounge', and 'Cinema Bar', which have nurtured the likes of Ramsey Midwood, Mike Stinson and Randy Weeks.
Multi-talented Fatoak Records producer Shane McMahon took a liking to her tunes and decided to produce her debut CD.
Her kick-ass dive-bar band includes McMahon, Craig Spendlove, Jay Green and Keith Carman.
Sarah also does acoustic shows with the incomparable guitarist Andrew Goldenhersh, and is the house singer/songwriter for Hollywood's popular writer's showcase, "The Triangle Room." Sarah writes songs with Joe Zimmerman and Johnny Fargo. Her songs have been heard in many an independent film, and are sure to be heard in more to come.

Definitely on my Itunes playlist!
author: Matt McGuffThe cool fusion of alt-country and pop together with Sarah's creative lyrics, make this a great album. I also like the varying moods of this album: from fun to soothing to haunting. I'm keeping my eyes on this artist!
Great Find
author: John WheelerThis music reminds me of the live music scene when I was going to school in Austin. It's rare to find good new music these days, and this CD is it.
Great tunes, outstanding voice
author: Chet WalkerLarry David told me about Sarah, so I checked out a show in LA and immediately bought the CD. This woman is going places. Buy this CD now so you can claim you were into her music "before she hit the big-time".
A gem!
author: Robert FarriorA friend turned me on to this album and I've really enjoyed it. Groovy and hard to classify - it doesn't fit neatly into any particular genre of music - which to me makes it all that much more playable...engaging songs with very appealing, seductive vocals and honest, smart, playful lyrics...a more downtown Lucinda Williams meets a less chaotic PJ Harvey meets a more zaftig Karen Carpenter. Well worth buying.
