Album Notes

"Quite moving in it's simplicity , Cox's gentle, soulful brand of country music holds a very seductive power."
-Miles of Music

Portland based singer/songwriter Sara Cox spent her childhood in Nashville, Tennessee.

Influenced by her country music surroundings as well as a musical household where piano, guitar, and 3 part harmonies were constants, she began songwriting at age 15 and has been developing her unique folk/country style ever since.

Her "powerful, yet wistful singing abilities" have been compared to Shelby Lynn and Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies.

She has recently opened for acts such as Gillian Welch and Stacey Earle and awareness is continually increasing with her songs on syndicated and community radio stations.

Sara Cox is not your regular folky, her songs have a yearning and storytelling quality that is novel, yet familiar.

REVIEWS

melancholy alt country

Sarah Cox is de singer of the alt countryband The Coming Grass, who made their debut last year. Seems that Cox has some time left for herself. Firewater is the title of her mini-solocd, which contains six songs: five new ones and older, beautiful song, No Harm we already know from the debut-album of The Coming Grass. Cox makes kind of 'silence' rootsmusic; midtempo songs with a bit of twang, and her husky voice always as the centre point. That's how she creates an intriguing melancholy atmosphere.
