...Sarah Dashew (pronounced like cashew with a d) grew up sailing around the world with her family, listening to Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison and Janis Joplin. She learned to play guitar at sea and later began singing in a gospel choir. After a few years of performing in Austin, Texas, Sarah moved to Los Angeles and began working with legendary producer Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan).
Sarah's album Jealous Girl is the result of two years of writing and playing in Los Angeles. It was one of the greatest thrills in her life when Chuck said, "You're ready. Let's make a record!"
All 12 tracks are written by Sarah. She was joined in the studio by musicians who had played on some of her all-time favorite records. They include Gary Mallaber on drums (Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band), Jennifer Condos on bass (Bruce Springsteen, Joe Henry) and Mark Goldenberg on lead guitar (Jackson Browne). Texas features Marty Rifkin (Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen) on pedal steel. Singer-songwriter Dan Bern adds cello to the stark, powerful Cannot Make the Call. The album was engineered by Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Natasha Bedingfield). The upbeat track Hash it Out has already been heard on the hit TV show My Name is Earl. Jealous Girl is an irresistible journey, from the relentlessly honest title track to the final, soul-soothing Morningtime.

Hey, when I was in Kenya some years back I hired an old plane to recreate the scene from Out of Africa and took pictures, though I did not reach back to hold the pilot’s hand.
BUT. . .
Since I’m allergic to heights, I can’t watch the scene in the movie anymore.

i was listening to my mellow monday station on pandora, and to my surprise (and enjoyment), Morningtime came on! I didn't know you were on pandora...i will have to add you to my station. :)
Love your songwriting. And your voice is the voice of your words. Saw you at the Temple Bar over a year ago and hope to catch another show after I get off the road. Keep working! You have that "thing" ... organic and real and strong. Thanks for your gift and talent.
Sarah, Just had to let you know that I am just knocked over by "Take Me In". Beautiful work. You continue to impress, inspire and remind me that all we really need to do is be honest and share. The other pieces to this mysterious puzzle will find their way home. Your work, your passion is very much appreciated. From the Arizona desert with more respect than words can convey, Ron Gallagher
Thanks for another amazing night of music. Next time i tape, I'll try a Scorsese approach and do a long tracking shot of you and the crowd. Have fun in Santa B.
After 2 tough weeks, I was really thinking of taking off, to Hawaii, to France, anywhere out of LA. I even missed the announcement for Sarah's appearance at the Temple Bar. But I have my guardian angels around me, and I did not miss her perfomance. I didn't go to Hawaii or France last night, I just listened and lost myself in her music and her voice. Yeah, it was late, yeah it was Tuesday night, yeah I had to get up early to go to work, but really, I feel so much better! That is what music is about! thank you Sarah.
How to spend a perfect Tuesday evening? Going to the Temple Bar and seeing a Sarah Dashew show, life is good. Also good? Riding the Solvang Century Bike Ride this weekend and possibly having the opportunity to see Sarah at the Cold Springs Tavern on the way home.
Thanks Sarah! Small world your mom went to U Idaho! I am from Chicago orginally and so it has been quite a change of pace. Anyways I love your music and your lyrics really speak to me. I hope all is well.
