SARAH PIERCE

Sarah Pierce, the daughter of a cowboy, raised in a family of cattlemen, was born in Rockford, Illinois and raised in rural West Texas. In the 6th grade she was kicked out of the children’s choir because she sang too low...her incredible alto voice already making itself be known. She'd sing to the cattle in the pastures. As Pierce says, ‘They didn’t seem to mind.' Sarah's dream of becoming a legitimate singer began to take shape at age 12 singing in her stepfather’s band. Always studying voice, after receiving an advanced degree in medical science, her musical journey truly began. One that she is still on today.

Sarah has toured hundreds of thousands of miles - both domestic and foreign - receiving rave reviews at fairs, festivals, conventions, and concert dates from New York City to Los Angeles and Northern British Columbia to San Antonio, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. Her willingness to self-promote her music has included a driving tour of 250 NPR/AC/Country radio stations across the country, doing interviews and live on-air performances. In addition, she has been seen in performance on MTV and was heard as the singing voice of Calamity Jane on the Emmy-nominated Time-Life television mini-series, The Wild West.

With the release of her eighth album, Bring It On, and the first single, Butterfly Tattoo, going to #5 in the nation on Independent Country Charts, Sarah once again was able to show that she is an absolutely viable artist both commercially and more importantly creatively. Sarah then released her 9th CD, Barbed Wire.

“Barbed Wire has been a long time coming. It definitely could be seen as a follow up to my autobiographical Cowboy’s Daughter CD. This one is absolutely ‘all cards on the table.’ That is what I love most about it...having the courage to not chase anything. Rather just write my songs, tell my truth, and let the chips fall as they may! Barbed Wire came to life after my husband and I moved to the country. One day, while clearing pasture, I came across an old rusted barbed wire fence. I did some research and found that it was manufactured by hand in 1876. “I cut a piece from the strand and placed it on our dining room table where I write. In two weeks I had the 13 songs that became Barbed Wire. That strand stays there.”

Barbed Wire, had 3 singles on the Texas Music Charts. "I'm Sorry", a song written with Willy Braun, going to #3, Barbed Wire then became a steppingstone to Pierce's new CD, Blessed By The West.

Sarah states "I love the west. It is my honor to live in it, protect it, write, and sing about it.” Now, proudly on Berkalin Records, Blessed By The West releases officially in September 2024
