Listen to ‘Sweetheart’ by Sarah White

Virginia singer-songwriter Sarah White hails from Charlottesville, Va., but spent her formative years in Monroe County, W.Va. With influences ranging from traditional bluegrass to new wave, she’ll sing a Carter Family gospel song as easily as a Blondie cover. After releasing two solo records, Sarah put out her first record with her rock band The Pearls last year. The record, entitled “White Light,” has earned her compliments from no less than Dave Matthews: “Sarah’s music kills me,” he says, “beautifully from the ground up, no plastic. I got stuck behind a logging truck today. I was listening to Sarah. It was great.”

In September, she won ‘Best Song‘ at the 2007 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest international finals in New York City for her song “Sweetheart,” which you can listen to right here. In December, she’ll bring her Fourth Annual Country Christmas show to the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, W.Va., with a troupe of her favorite Charlottesville musicians. For this show, you can expect traditional songs of home, hearth and warm fires, all done in the old country way.
