After some heavy life challenges, Sarah Faith is rising from the ashes with a new single and upcoming record.

(Nashville, Tenn.)

Sarah Faith, an artist – songwriter based in Nashville, is once again proving that there are silver linings in tough situations. Nearly two years to the date after dropping her first full length project, Lessons From The Archives, Faith is ready to give listeners their next dose of mindful music with the release of the title track off her sophomore album, Come Alive. This release comes on the heels of the initial single, Free, which landed on all streaming platforms in February.

The Michigan-native musician was the winner of Goodyear’s From Garage To Glory competition in July 2021, beating out 2,000+ other artists and bands and earning the majority of 80,000 fan votes. The victory allowed her opportunities to play two concerts at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio as part of the 2021 Hall of Fame Induction, perform the National Anthem at the Cotton Bowl Classic in December of 2021, and go on to perform the Anthem again at the Beef It’s What’s For Dinner Xfinity Series NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway in February 2022. During what others would consider the experience of a lifetime, back home, Faith was going through a divorce and trying to balance all of the dreams with a harsh reality that off stage, her life felt like a nightmare. In the same way as she’s always done when pain comes her way, she picked up her pen and guitar and started writing. The result is a 10-song self-produced album about recovering from divorce and moving on with strength, dignity, and grace.

“I wrote [Come Alive] about my own life, but I truly believe this song [and record] is everyone’s story. Everyone loves a good comeback, but I think we also sometimes forget that we’re capable of getting back up when we’re knocked down, too, regardless of how many times we’ve been in the valley.”
Come Alive (the single) will be released on all music purchasing and streaming platforms on June 2, 2023. Additional songs off the record will also be released in the near future before the full-length album is available in the fall of 2023.

Listen Now!!

Sarah Faith, a Michigan-raised, Nashville-based (Dickson, Tenn.) singer-songwriter, is dropping her debut single, Before You, to the music world. Having relocated to Middle Tennessee mid-2019, Sarah brought with her a past filled with family addiction and abuse as well as battles with anxiety and depression. With optimistic intentions of creating a bright future, Before You provides a powerful, upbeat head start, giving listeners a taste of the vulnerability and authenticity to come.

Growing up with a single mother who struggled with addiction, Sarah Faith was exposed to mental and physical abuse at a very young age. As a result, she developed mental health issues of her own, but always found a way to fight and make the best of her circumstances. “My music is infused with my story and where I come from. My goal is to prove that it doesn’t matter how crazy your family is or how dark your past is – you can overcome it and use all of those things for good outcomes.” Sarah describes her musical style as a genre-bending mix that draws inspiration from a diverse musical background including classic rock, alternative, and Americana. Vocally, she is inspired by the likes of Jennifer Nettles, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Grace Potter.

Before You released on all major music purchasing and streaming platforms on May 29, 2020.

About the Song

Why did you write this song? Where did it come from?

This song is very personal to me. It’s written about the dark outlook we sometimes get on relationships before meeting our “person.” It’s actually a very true story, even though I’m not sure we intended for it to be from the very start of writing it. Personally, I had all but given up on the concept of a successful relationship, much less marriage, and this song talks about that a little bit. I had a grim outlook on the world, and I honestly thought I’d be better off alone than continuing the fruitless search for a worthwhile partner in crime.

Originally, when we sat down to write this tune, we were thinking of a fun Friday happy jam, and I think we still came away with that, but it ended up being really infused with my story. Maybe that’s why I love it so much – it’s fun and catchy, but still really personal for me and uses my story as part of the overall message.

What does this song mean to you? What do you want listeners to take away from this song?

This song makes me smile every time I play it. It’s really the beginning of my “happy” with my husband – he really did randomly walk up to me in a bar with those pretty blue eyes and change my plans. I know it sounds crazy, but it was definitely the epitome of “when you’re not looking” and “when you least expect it.”

I guess I’d like to just give people hope that those two cliches actually are true – or they can be. I was in no way looking for a relationship, but out of the blue, my person came along just when I felt all hope was lost.

How would you describe the sound of the song to someone who hasn’t heard it before?

As an artist, I truly believe in blurring the lines between genres as much as I can get away with. I grew up on a sort of weird mix of classic rock, 90s alternative, country, and pop music, plus I was involved in choral music so there’s a good bit of classical influence mixed in as well. Sonically for this single, my vision was lots of guitar and lots of drums. I’m super inspired by The Lumineers and Grace Potter, among a bunch of others, so I really wanted to pull some roots, Americana, and vintage sounds out of this tune. I think overall, that’s where I feel I fit in as an artist – mixing a bunch of things together that feel good and hopefully sound good too!
