Friends of frogstop have been asking us to bring Sara Petite here, and we're happy to say that August 6 is the day! Named “Best Americana or Country” in the 2009 San Diego Music Awards, Sara Petite has been called everything from “Outlaw country” to “AAA singer-songwriter”.
Often described as an Americana artist, Petite’s sound is an earthy fusion of folk, bluegrass, country, and mountain music with surprising flashes of pop and rock. She steadfastly affirms that "it's all Americana". Her singing voice, which has been likened to that of June Carter and Dolly Parton, is the tie that binds the varied styles she blends. Her songs, whose inspiration comes from broken hearts and those full of hope, revive fond memories of history, home and travels.
On stage, Petite has opened for such major headliners as Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives, Josh Turner, Shooter Jennings, Dave Alvin, Trent Thomlinson, Richie McDonald, John Eddie, Todd Snider, Ralph Stanley, Steve Poltz, Lance Miller, John Doe and Bert Jansch.
Sara will be accompanied by fiddler John Mailander, a member of Sara's band the Sugar Daddies. Mailander has also played with area musical mainstays like Chris Clarke, Robin Henkel and the 7th Day Buskers. (John is featured in the cover story of the July issue of the San Diego Troubadour.)
