SARAH SHARPS THIRD EP “SWAY” IS HERE
Austin's jazz gem, Sarah Sharp, returns to deliver her third of four EP's this year. Sway contrasts her previous two releases, showcasing her jazz sensibilities and features an array of standards, originals, and covers with Sarah's signature flair.
"Your Girlfriend Hates Me", one of the originals off the EP, differs the most from the rest of the tracks in terms of tempo and style, making it a notable track. Her lyric writing shines on this track as she narrates a tale of how she is accused of being the other woman in a relationship by a man's girlfriend. Sarah's confidence exudes as she reassures the girlfriend she would have already been with her man if that was the case.
All set to a bluegrass, cool jazz fusion arrangement, Sarah impresses with her versatility as a songwriter and contrasting musical styling on this track. "Your Girlfriend Hates Me" reveals yet another side to Sarah's artistry and we can't wait to hear her final EP release for the year!

Former Jitterbug Viper and Texas native Sarah Sharp has released a music video for her new single PIECES. The video was shot and edited by The Lenz Twinz, an award winning sibling duo from Texas that have been creating videos since they could hold a camera. It features beautiful shots of colorful pieces of confetti in a bathtub, as well as flowers and petals. The video is very alluring and calming. It is a perfect companion to this slow, jazzy ballad. This video is dripping with amazing imagery and aesthetics. We can’t wait to see what Sarah has coming next for us.

Sarah Sharp’s music video for “Just Go” is a wonderful partner to the track. It is filmed in mostly black and white, and shot a bit like a silent film. There’s something very intimate and personal about the black and white shots. There isn’t much movement in the shots, but when there is it is followed blurrily.
The only time that the film is shown is color is the very beginning, and towards the end. The only time that Sarah is singing the words is in full color at the end. There’s something so revealing about this music video. It definitely keeps us wanting more from Sarah Sharp.

INDIE 5-0: 5 QUESTIONS WITH SARAH SHARP
Sarah Sharp is a multiple Austin Music Award-winning songwriter and Jazz singer. As a former member of Jitterbug Vipers , the DIY release of her full-length debut of Viper Jazz inspired originals earned her top placements in the 2014 Austin music awards for Best Female Vocalist, Best Producer, Best Songwriter, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Band of the Year, Best Jazz Band and was featured on NPR’s Song Travels with Michael Feinstein. 2018 promises to be a game-changing year for Sarah. She is one of the winning recipients of Austin’s Black Fret Grants and in addition to funding, Black Fret provides access for Austin based musicians to an Advisory Board comprised of 38 of Austin’s leading music industry professionals. We were lucky enough to get to chat with Sarah about her musical influences, latest single and more!
1. We are loving your new single, "You Don't Dare "! Could you tell us a bit about the writing and recording process? I wrote the song about a theme that I saw repeating in many relationships. It’s basically saying, “Why not just go all the way through it and see what happens, instead of guarding against every potential hurt or difficulty. It’s more difficult not to know. You’ve been hurt. You survived. How bad can it be?”
I recorded this track in Brooklyn with Wilson Marks – guitar, Jared Engel – bass, Nicholas Faulk – drums and Phoebe Hunt producing. Wilson and I met Phoebe’s band when she had us as part of a music festival in Bentonville, Arkansas where we all used her band as the house band. I loved playing with her players so much, I decided to go to Brooklyn to make a record with Phoebe producing. Two of the songs from this EP and all 5 songs from the next EP, which comes out in a few months are from those sessions.
2. If you could have dinner with any musician, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
If I have to name one, Billie Holiday.
3. With acclaim from various outlets such as NPR with the Jitterbug Vipers, did you feel any pressure writing your new solo songs? Even during my JBV days, I was constantly writing. I love to write, so there’s no pressure there. I suppose there is concern though that people might not want to make such a big shift into this territory. The Phoebe’s Dream album was such a lighting in the bottle piece of magic and it captured Slim Richey so beautifully before he passed. There was no way for me to stick such a specific niche or attempt to keep what we had going without Slim. My next EP is more Pop, the 3rd EP is the most Jazz, probably the closest to JBV. I think by the time the 3rd EP comes out, people will hopefully accept that it’s all me, even though I span a lot of genre territory. The plan is to release a new EP every 3 months over the next year and PERHAPS I’ll keep going.
4. Who are your top three biggest musical influences? This question is so hard. This might be more what I listened to growing up than direct influences, but surely it’s all an influence. Willie Nelson, Eva Cassidy, Carole King, Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, early Bonnie Raitt, Harry Nilsson, Leonard Cohen, early Sting, Leona Naess, Beyonce’s Lemonade album, Fatboy Slim & I love his side project Brighton Port Authority, James Taylor, Mark Geary, Rolling Stones, Eminem, Elliot Smith…
5. What's next for you? Any plans to tour this year?
My main focus is releasing these four Eps over the next year. I would love to tour again. I’m trying to build up to that. It’s such magic when you can afford to tour and hopefully keep the band feeling fulfilled and appreciated on the road.
