The music industry is a tough business. For an aspiring musician to achieve the ultimate goal of obtaining a full-time career in music, it takes undeniable talent, unmatched perseverance, and yes, even a little bit of luck. For
Sarah Buxton, it has been a long road to where she is today, less than a month away from releasing her debut album, and she’s recently been added as the special guest on the
Shine All Night Tour with country chart-toppers
Martina McBride and
Trace Adkins.
After moving to Nashville on her own as a teenager, Sarah began to hone her craft of songwriting. She started a southern rock band and toured the southeast, gaining the on-stage experience that is vital for an up-and-coming artist. As she began to make a name for herself in Music City, as a songwriter and performer, Sarah signed with Lyric Street Records in 2005. Despite hard work and strong performances, a debut release still hadn’t presented itself. She continued to develop her reputation as a severely underappreciated musician, collaborating with top names
Dierks Bentley, Martina McBride, Kenny Rogers, John Corbett, and
Keith Urban.
including her lead single, "Outside My Window." Having produced/co-produced four of the album’s tracks, as well as penning 10 of the selections, she has truly made this release her own. “You would think since this is such a strong reflection of who I am and what I’m about, that I would be that much more nervous for the release,” she explains. “But I’m not at all. It’s all excitement. I can’t wait to get it out there to people and see what everyone thinks. There are no expectations. I’m so proud of this record.” And she should be proud. One of the most anticipated country debuts is also one of the top releases in recent memory, particularly for a female artist (and yes, that includes Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ and Carrie Underwood’s ‘Play On’).
