Sara Pace is a singer-songwriter currently based in Madison, Wisconsin. She grew up in Central Iowa, in a home filled with the music of Dylan, Prine, and Elton John, to name only a few. Her life has taken her from the cornfields to the big cities, and now to something a little in-between.
Sara's second album, "Sara Pace, Simpatico" was release in late 2005. "After The Storm", the first song on Simpatico, is a song about journey and it features the beautiful guitar work of Willy Porter, whom Sara and co-producer Lance Ketterer share a friendship with. Willy graces this tune with 6 & 12 string acoustic guitar, as well as a 6 string electric gretsch hollowbody.
The final cut on the album, "Out of the Blue" was selected as September 2005 feature song on the One to Watch segment of the nationally syndicated radio program, The Acoustic Café with Rob Reinhart.

Beautiful Instrumentation, Arrangements, and Songs
author: Frank
This recording is really a gorgeous foray into the realm of folk, with wonderfully diverse arrangements from song to song and very diverse instrumentation as well. The songs are top notch. Almost the whole recording features the awesome pedal steel and lap steel stylings of Adam Davis, now a part-time member of Amos Lee's band. Willy Porter lends his wonderful talents on the opening track After the Storm. The drumming/percussion is subdued and totally in the pocket. Mandolin, Violins, Viols, Stand-up and Electric Bass color the core of a couple acoustic guitars and a beautiful vocal without getting in the way or overwhelming the point of the recording, which is the songs and the lyrics. Check it out....it won't disappoint!

Lush Production
author: Jon
This CD is more lush than Sara's stripped down first release "self-titled", but still equally as lyrical and engaging...if not more so. The songs are more thickly accentuated by electric guitars, viols, violas, standup bass, pedal steel, mandolin, and many others, without taking away from the main point...the songs. Willy Porter lends his amazing talent on After the Storm, and it only gets better from there! Give a listen, guaranteed to please.

Get Simpatico now, (and tell your friends "i told you so," later).

i'm not sure what kind of world we live in, if this release doesn't launch Sara Pace into alt-country stardom...or, at least damn close to it. It's all here: simple-yet-incisive folk lyricism (think John Prine) the vocal sweetness of Emmylou Harris, and the refreshingly low-key beauty of Sara's unique and sultry delivery. The band is hot, the recording is hip and trad at the same time. Make room, Neko and Iris, Sara's going to steal your roots-lovin' boyfriends!

More intricate and polished than her first albumn, but also not quite as engaging. Still--very likeable and all too short!!
