   About Sarah and the Stanleys
For years now, Sarah Gregory, a Texas native now based in Brooklyn, has been leaving audiences slack-jawed and smiling because of her powerful and unaffected voice and refreshingly tell-it-like-it-is songs. Equally steeped in soul, folk, and gospel music, Sarah brings her own distinctive style to the table with every performance. In addition to her work with the Stanleys, Sarah has been making a name for herself through her performance with Asthmatic Kitty's The Welcome Wagon, BiFrost Arts' compilation albums, and most notably The Gregory Brothers' viral video sensation Auto-Tune the News.

The Stanleys, Sarah's crack backup band, consists of Evan Gregory (Auto-Tune the News, The Gregory Brothers) on keyboard, vocals, and musical direction, Doug Hulin (The Gregory Brothers) on bass, Rob Ritchie (Zach Williams) on guitar, Spencer Cohen (Diane Birch, Dusty Brown) on drums, Eli Asher (The Respect Sextet, Bjorkestra) on trumpet, and Justin Keller (Land of Leland, The Welcome Wagon) and Josh Rutner (The Respect Sextet, HappyFunSmile) on saxophone.

Sarah has been described by her adoring fans as "heartbreaking ... her sound is soaring, powerful, and soulful."

In the summer of 2007, Sarah was asked by The Gregory Brothers, to join them for a three month tour. At the time, she was a blossoming Austin singer-songwriter, but when given the chance to play night after night in front of crowd after crowd, she quickly lost her endearing beginner's shyness and just started wailing. Hard. She transformed into the kind of jaw-dropping musician that audiences can hardly believe they’re hearing in person. As she discovered the soul sound that was inside of her, she built a repertoire of tell-it-like-it-is knock-em-sock-ems, leaving her smaller ballads on the curb.

Now based in Brooklyn, Sarah and Evan put together a 7-piece band to fully realize the vision. The Stanleys are solid musicians, well-seasoned from an array of side projects. These good-looking Stanleys frame Sarah on every side of the stage, but their presence hardly overwhelms her. It simply highlights her unapologetic femininity. Their chemistry is catching.

What's goin' on Sarah And The Stanleys? I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams.

Hey Sarah! I heard Phoebe tonight at 21/Park; she's fabulous, and she reminds me of your soulful chords. Ya'll should definitely get together & jam sometime... you know, just a few musicians in a room & sing a few songs back & forth & throw in some harmonies, perhaps, just to see what it's like... you know, like at church--ha! Laid back & chill, like a dill (pickle, that is)..

It's great to be back in town! I hate that I didn't get to see Evan & ya'll tonight somewhere else in town; I was in Gramercy tonight.
