Hi Friends ~ It's been a long, long time since I updated you all! 2015 was one strange year! As you can see from our calendar, we've taken a number of months off from playing to concentrate on writing our new album. I really wanted to take some time to get back to the basics and write solely from the heart. It is too easy to change the direction of your songs, your very personal songs, when you get a lot of input and you play the game of music. It's very important to me that my songs stay true to why I started writing in the first place. Sometimes it is good to step back, look inside, remember why you love what you do ~ and that is exactly what I've been doing since last summer. But now, my friends, it is time to get back on the bus! We miss playing for you very much, and I'm happy to say we have a number of really cool shows in the works. I promise to try to do a better job of updating you, and I hope with all my heart to see you next time we come to play ~ love & peace, Sarah/THE SARAH SWANSON BAND
