The Red Unsaid is Nate Tew and Kristy Sauter.

Nearly a Thousand Miles is their first independent CD project, released April 15th 2006 through their own indie label, Number 8 Records.


“After hearing 10 tracks by this brother-sister duo, I’m ready to proclaim The Red Unsaid as South Dakota’s best musical group that nobody knows about.”
– Robert Morast, Sioux Falls Argus Leader

“Poignant lyrics and lovely acoustic melodies in some of the sweetest songs I have heard in a long time.”
- Ruth Milne, Rapid City Journal

“The music of The Red Unsaid is pure American, a blend of acoustic rock and folk music straight from the heartland. Kristy’s, lyrics, much like her vocal performances, capture a heartfelt sincerity that can only come from real world observations and experiences.”
- David A. Flower, The Official Journal of the North American Academy of Independent Recording Artists (NAIRA)


With a bright acoustic folk rock sound, The Red Unsaid have been compared to artists such as The Indigo Girls, Suzanne Vega, Jewel, The Corrs, Lisa Loeb, Ani DeFranco, Rilo Kiley, Sheryl Crow, and Shawn Colvin.
