The Incredible Casuals!!!
Has been playing guitar since her mother got her a fender acoustic for her 15th birthday. Started writing songs about boys shortly thereafter. Has annoyed people with singing for a very long time.
Traveled all over the US and UK playing solo acoustic shows over the past 15 years. Played bass and sang in Professor Gascan, The Spike Emerson Society and VEIN.
CURRENTLY - lives on dreamy cape cod with dreamy steel sculptor husband and two dreamy girls (Lucy 3 and Jessie 1) AND plays in acoustic duo with Jerry Smith and with rockin cape band The Greenheads (and once in a while gets the Sarah Swain Band together to play).
Loves her chickens and growing her own food. Hates overpackaged goods and bell peppers.
It's crazy it's a full five minutes the band's answer to "let it be" hehe
we hope you like it..
"Come on Sarah – get your high heals on..
we’ve got a map of the future & and that’s where your from"
Our goal is simple to create the largest gathering of people named Sarah
anywhere in the world.. and we care about the most artistic of Sarah's
you for example! The song is anthem in sound now available for all to hear

All the best, and thanks for your friendship as always!
