Someone recently said to Sara, "You are, like, what hipsters fetishize." He meant that from risk-taking jazz interpretations to thoughtful, soul-baring, original pop songs, you'll like what Sara has to say.
An LA native, Leib now resides in the San Fernando Valley (much to her own chagrin). She keeps busy in LA singing, teaching, and writing. Leib has also established herself as an in demand session singer. Contact at Saraleib.com for details. You can currently find Sara on teaching faculty at World Mission University.
On a personal note, Sara Leib enjoys leading a colorful life. She likes good wine, funky cheeses, dark chocolate, soup, dry rub ribs, and food in general. She also likes friendly people, talking to strangers, biofeedback, exploring ethnic grocery stores, lawn flamingos, triangles (the instruments), her new creme' brulee recipe, gumbo, collecting takeout menus, modern design (favorite designers are her dad, Karim Rashid, and Charles and Ray Eames), social consciousness, and shops/restaurants that specialize in one thing. Like Pinkberry. Or Rice to Riches. And taco stands and teahouses. Or places that sell barbeque through a window. She absolutely adores throwing dinner parties, and possesses an uncannny ability/talent of being able to recall every meal she's ever eaten (she inherited this trait from her maternal grandfather...ask her to do an impression). Sara also likes...decaf, books you can't put down, real chicago pizza, buffy, swimming, italian food with delivery, farmers' markets, friendly arguments, persian food (and most things skewered), fruit rolls, lip balms and shampoos and sleepovers. She is super tangential but is working on being more linear. She collects masks. She loves key lime pie but dislikes lemon meringue. Her favorite website is primates.com. Leib hopes that her musical career will one day bring her the kind of notoriety that will land her a gig as a taster on Iron Chef America.
Here's recent video os Sara performing at the Academy Awards with the Hollywood Film Chorale in Steve Sidwell's "Elements and Motion":
"Wait, jazz? This isn't jazz!"
Yeah, whatever, buddy. I sing all kinds of music. Thought the singer/songwriter stuff might be more your style. For Sara Leib's jazz profile, please see http://www.myspace.com/saraleibjazz
you didn't get my message??? that figures. my computer is on its absolute last leg. I LOVE YOUR CD. I listen to it a lot in the evening when I'm reading. (I'm addicted to Jane Austin right now) I'm sooooo very glad you get joy from my paintings. I just finished 2 this week that I really love. They are in violets and soft turqoises. Actually they are the first two paintings I've finished since August. I was kind of in a funk after the gallery closed. But now I've got this wonderful muse in the form of a boyfriend and things are looking up. :D How are you?????? Been to guatemala yet?

Hey Sarah Happy Chanukah. Please come see me play at The Mint at Pico and Crescent Heights this Thursday 12/13 at 9:15. Plus let's jam jewish or otherwise soon. Guatemala? wow!
Every time I see that Target Commercial and that Old Navy Commercial I think of you because the singer sounds exactly like you. heck maybe it is you. lol!
Hey Sara, how did I get so lucky? I have an amazing girlfriend who I can't imagine life without, and I also have your thumbs up. It means a lot to me. Plus I get to eat yard tacos with the two of you. Excited to see you in December!!

Normally we do Sunday hikes and I know thats when you are S.C.O.M.ing it. This week we are doing a Saturday morning hike instead. it would be great if you and your lady could join us.
heya!!! So, i delivered your finished, embelished print yesterday. I can't wait for you two to have them safe in your casa. I'm so thrilled they are going to be yours. It's like placing a piece of me into a loving home. HUGS. James
I want to say "thank you" to all my friends, family, fans and fauna who have helped me hit 1000 friends. Crazy, huh? Yes, I said fauna. There's a cactus on my friends list (we met at a bar in Arizona, don't ask).
