Sara Petite: Her Heart Is Where Her Home Is


Story by Michael Alvarez

Breezing into Rebeccas's Coffeehouse for a late morning interview, Sara Petite displays the same vivacious energy that she brings to the stages upon which she performs. She is bright, attractive, and brimming with stories about life, family, and music. Often described as an Americana artist, her 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. While she has a healthy respect for the classic genres in their purest forms, she confidently asserts that she does what she wants when it comes to making music. Such an approach can be a risky proposition for some, but her CD Tiger Mountain shows that it is the right one for her.

CD Review

I was born in 75
family of six barely getting by
we were Mommas babies and Daddys pride
a small town, American life

So begins Sara Petites debut album on Manatease Records. Her life appears to be chronicled in song from beginning to end on this record titled Tiger Mountain.

Sara is a budding San Diego singer/songwriter who has a knack for writing good, honest songs reminiscent of Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. The music is a mesh of bluegrass, folk and country. Her voice is simple and unassuming. This is Americana.
