About the Musican
Singer-Songwriter Sarah Elizabeth has performed in 18 countries but has called Kentucky
home all her life. Sarah plays 11 instruments and her work appears on 15 albums.
Her sound is deeply rooted in the Kentucky hills, with "a voice sweeter than a honeysuckle
vine in spring and old as the current of the Ohio River." Her latest album Don't
Die Yet, accompanied by Grammy Nominated Native American musician Tony Redhouse,
was recorded upon returning from the Sacred Black Hills of South Dakota.
