My 2012 Resolutions are mostly private, but the one I’m happy to share with you is to make more Music Videos!!! It’s for this reason that I am releasing my
BRAND NEW EP, ‘Perfectly Imperfect,’ exclusively online to raise money for making videos. To find out how you can get a copy of this new EP and other awesome goodies, check out the VIDEO PROJECT and get yourself some new music, a private guitar or songwriting lesson, or even a house concert!

In other news, I’ve embarked on a ‘Demo-a-Day’ project for as long as I can manage. I started Dec 21st, and have only taken 2 days off since I cut my toe off… but I’m getting back at it later today!

Here are some *free downloads* for you of song #7 and song #9 and also a free download of my cover of
Tom Petty’s ‘Don’t Fade on Me’ which I played live at a Tribute in Somerville a few weeks back.

*HAPPY HOLIDAYS* to everyone who has made this year one of the most special years of my life. Folks I’ve met at shows, on the radio, online… who’ve inspired me to write songs, put together a show, helped spread the word, or who’ve bought CDs for themselves or their loved ones… I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you!

<– that’s me!

Wood Stove House Concerts Podcast has just been released! You can listen to my interview from 5/11 HERE!

I got an awesome LED light-changing trophy that took about 1 hour and 4 people to set up once we returned from tour…! At least it didn’t break in our new tour Prius, James.

Tri-State Indie wrote about the festival, “Sarah Blacker is a star.  Never heard of her?  Listen once and you will never forget her.  She received the MyRuralRadio Artist of the Year Award that night and played an achingly beautiful set.  She writes poignant songs that speak simply and honestly and wow, can she strum a guitar.” thanks guys!

Here are a couple of our pics from the tour. To see more, visit SB’s facebook page

Upon returning from tour, someone handed me a copy of Boston’s Music Magazine, the Noise, and showed me my photo on the cover! There’s really no better way to return home than this:

SB on the cover!

after being last month’s Big Shot! in the Noise too. Rita and Lolita from the noise said, “Each of the artists on the cover deserves to be dominating the page. These performers are already local stars.”

Thanks Noise Magazine!

Here is a video from the first night of our tour in Bangor, PA – a brand new tune called ‘Darling’

“With spot on vocals and a style of music and melody that is all her own, Sarah Blacker is certainly making a name for herself on the New England music scene. Sarah Blacker not only treats the audience to her music but delivers it with a storyteller style and an extremely watchable stage presence.” – Sun Blog / Audio Floss
