Artist Bio

As a self-taught musician, Sara Burns began playing guitar and  singing when she was 12 years old. She began her career as one of the  youngest solo entertainers on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. For  over a decade, she has made a name for herself as a popular local artist  and entertainer, recognized for her distinguishing vocal style and  acoustic sound.

While maintaining a budding career as an entertainer, she has also  shifted her focus toward her own original material as a  singer-songwriter and recording artist. In 2014 she released her first  studio album titled “Girl on the Run,” recorded in Nashville, TN with  producer Kevin Bruchert. 

Now at the age of 28, she has recorded and released a new set of  original songs that truly tell a story of her growth and transformation  as an artists and songwriter. Her new album titled “Gypsy” (released in 2019) was also  produced by Kevin Bruchert, tracked and recorded in Buffalo NY at GCR  Studio, home to one of her favorite bands growing up, the Goo Goo Dolls.  In comparison to her first record, her lyrics have a deeper message  that shows a maturity and self-confidence she has found in her music.  With a wide variety of sounds, the songs on her new record showcase her  ability to master many different genres as a writer. 

Sara’s music displays her desire to create a timeless and authentic  sound, paired with a modern flare. Her style reflects her ability to  adapt to a wide variety of genres, which gives her a dynamic appeal to  her audience. Some of her main influences include Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, the Goo Goo Dolls, Augustana, Jewel, Joni Mitchell, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette,  and Patty Griffin.

“It’s not enough for me to simply say that I have a passion for  music, so Ill describe it… I have never found a greater feeling in my  life than the feeling I get from sharing my music. Passion is there when  you can actually feel the music. Your heart really has to be in it to  pursue it. My favorite quote is by the late Jim Croce: ‘If you dig it,  do it… if you really dig it, do it twice!’”
