Sarah Asher is poised to release a collection of songs, some stretching back to her time spent on the 300 acre farm where she once lived. In the summer of 2020, while making the most of grounded musicians, the songstress traveled to Echo Mountain Recording Studios, in Asheville, North Carolina with band mate CSO violinist, Eric Bates.

Sarah Asher is poised to release a collection of songs, some stretching back to her time spent on the 300 acre farm where she once lived. In the summer of 2020, while making the most of grounded musicians, the songstress traveled to Echo Mountain Recording Studios, in Asheville, North Carolina with band mate CSO violinist, Eric Bates. There they were paired with bassist Michael Libramento (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals), jazz pianist Andrew J. Fletcher, Casey Campbell, and Harvey Leisure. The group spent four days recording ten songs. The first single, All The Days, is set to be release July 6th 2021.
Asher was raised in Carlisle, Ohio, a cornfield train town south of Dayton. After she picked up the guitar, she spent time in Columbus, where she became a fixture in the local music scene with her lovelorn ukulele ballads. Upon meeting her husband, the pair split town for his family!s abandoned homeplace in the hills of Kentucky where Asher started again with a garden and a guitar. The ten years she spent nestled in the acres of wilderness, awash in folk culture greatly influenced her writing.
In 2019 Asher recorded This Little Bird at Candyland Studios, with Mike Montgomery and cellist Kate Wakefield, marking her first release since her move to the Greater Cincinnati area. Asher's follow up single Daffodils was recorded at Herzog Music in Cincinnati and released on 7” vinyl by Little Cricket Records, May 2020.

Review: Sarah Asher First Two Tracks of This Little Bird
On first listen, the two tracks of This Little Bird, the new release from Northern Kentucky singer-songwriter Sarah Asher, are disarming. The songs, in Asher’s characteristically subtle, delicate delivery, find their roots in an easy folksiness, but just below that surface lies a much deeper world.
