About

They call me "The Sheriff."

Greetings, I'm Sarah. I'm a PA-based guitarist, marketing professional, fitness junkie, and dog mom. I'm currently serving as musical director and lead guitarist for rising country star Gillian Smith.

Guitarist

With thirty years of experience and a formal education in music, I’m fueled by a relentless passion for learning and growth. Influenced by icons like Vince Gill, Jerry Cantrell, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Billy Gibbons, my playing blends raw grit with soulful expression—a sound shaped by years of exploration and performance.

Whether it’s country, rock, or praise and worship, I move comfortably across genres, and I love pushing boundaries. I’m endlessly curious and constantly chasing the next adventure—on stage, in the studio, or wherever the music takes me.

I am so honored to be endorsed by PRS GuitarsBreedlove GuitarsDR Strings, Kemper Amps, Carondelet Pickups, and Steve Clayton Custom. I am also partnered with several other amazing brands as I chase tone and refine my sound.

Marketing professional

By day, I’m a digital marketing professional. I craft clean, well-balanced designs and strategies—and back them up with data-driven analytics that show real, measurable ROI.

News, Announcements & Features

It's always such an honor to be recognized for the blood sweat and tears we musicians pour into their craft. 

I've curated some of the announcements, news articles, interviews, and features in which I've had the privilege of being seen. 

If I'm honest, this flex is largely to show my parents the return on their investment into guitar lessons for their little girl. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
