Sarah Harralson

“Sarah  Harralson presents honest, bare-boned recordings that are authentic,”  stated Music Connection Magazine after hearing her debut  singer-songwriter EP, Finally Found, in 2014. Her authenticity lies in  her lyrics based on true stories followed by melodies that will be stuck  in your head hours after hearing it. An authentic storyteller and  straight shooter, she is not afraid to tell it like it is in her music.  This Knoxville native began writing songs when she was ten years old,  her bluegrass musician grandfather being her biggest musical influence.  She was surrounded by genres such as country, rock 'n roll, soul, and  pop growing up, but the storytelling aspect of country is what  ultimately drew Harralson to pursue that genre.

After her grandfather passed in 2011, Sarah decided she would move to  Nashville two years later to pursue music at Belmont University. A year  after releasing her debut EP in 2014, she was discovered by Scotty  Schultz, drummer of Shooter Jennings (Waylon Jennings’s son). Scotty  opened up his publishing company, Raindrop Music LLC, in 2015 and after  hearing Sarah’s original song “Watered Down Whiskey”, he knew he wanted  to sign her right away. This would be Sarah’s first publishing deal.  Scotty decided he would produce her first country EP, Watered Down Whiskey, of all original songs that Sarah has either written or  co-written. "This EP will help many people and hopefully some will have  their heart healed by her emotional lyrics," stated Music Update Central  after hearing the release of her second EP in February 2018.

Sarah’s country influences range from The Dixie Chicks to Brandy  Clark to Johnny Cash with the vocals sounds of Jewel and Alanis  Morissette, which comes across on her second EP, Watered Down Whiskey.  Scotty Schultz of Raindrop Music, LLC stated that, “she is a driven  woman who deserves to be heard,” and the stories will definitely be  heard.One of the tracks on the EP includes the song, “Radio Static” that  was co-written with Johnny Garcia (lead guitar for Garth Brooks). Over  time, Sarah began writing and working with Johnny, which evolved to the  point where Sarah would sign her next publishing deal with Busy at Play  Publishing (Johnny Garcia’s company) in February 2020. During 2020, she  released single, "Put a Rock on This Rolling Stone", which led to her  new album, "Whiskey History" in February 2022.  She released  philanthropic single, "Blue Ribbon", in March 2023 that honors her  mother fight against Colon Cancer, and all streaming and download  proceeds from the song will be donated to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance  for Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. She released "Green Thumb" in  April 2023, "Blackout Barbie" on June 9th, and her new album, Outside  the Lines, releases on August 11th. Harralson's music has charted 26  times on iTunes and has had nominations for the World Songwriting  Awards, Josie Awards, and International Singer-Songwriters Association  Awards.You can find her playing local shows in Nashville when she is not out  of town. Her stage credibility includes opening for the likes of Aaron  Tippin, Bucky Covington, and also included on festival rosters with  Jason Aldean and Old Dominion as headliners. 

She made her debut at The  Bluebird Cafe in 2019 and has also played on stages such as The Analog  in Nashville, Ole Red, The Listening Room, and the Gibson Stage on Today  in Nashville on WSMV4. Besides performing, Sarah also produces music  herself and decided to release a collaborative album, West of Me, with  co-writer Christine Bauer in early 2019 that she self-produced. Her song  "Get Lost in Some Rock 'n Roll" was featured on the Norwegian show,  Norge Bak Fasaden, in 2021, and her song, "Slow Me Down" was featured in  a Google Ireland ad in 2022. You can also hire her to write and record a  song for you or your loved one through websites, Songfinch,  SoundBetter, AirGigs or Fiverr. Sarah is also a voiceover artist and was  the narrator of 'You Belong With Me' on Pocket FM from 2020-2022.

Besides writing her own material, she has also co-written songs cut  by other artists such as "Tennessee" by Whippoorwill, "Thirsty" by  Natalia Soul, and "It'll Be Alright" by Rob Murphy to name a few. In  2020, her song, "Angels on Broadway", written with James Tristan Redding  won the Kyle Walz Songwriting Contest. In June 2021, she was invited to  be a voting member of The Recording Academy as a vocalist and  songwriter. She was hired to sing on an English version of the Bulgarian  hit, "Hello, My Friend" with Barney Esville, and it reached #15 on the  Hot Disc UK country chart in June 2023 and was featured on National  Bulgarian outlets as well as praised by the U.S. Embassy. This led to  her Eastern Europe tour in August 2023 where she played with an  international symphony in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria on behalf of The  America for Bulgaria Foundation. 

She also plays at hospitals as a  volunteer musician once a month for Musicians On Call. Sarah hopes that  her music will help people in some way across the world. She is a big  believer that music heals and aims to present her music in a way that is  relatable for others and can heal any open wounds.
