Sarah Banker has released her new EP titled ‘Into The Heart’ today. Recorded and produced by Jeff Franca (Thievery Corporation) in his studio, at 9,000 feet elevation in the Indian Peaks Wilderness in Colorado, ‘Into The Heart’ has an old school feel, in regards to folk, with a modern tinge of songwriting featuring memorable hooks and enough diversity in the music to bring appreciation from all ages.
A genuine mix and mash of aforementioned folk with modern pop, Americana, and a unique blend of instrumentation, including strings and horns, all come together in such a way that it gloriously works memorably. I wish more artists dared to experiment in such a way.
About Sarah Banker
Sarah Banker is a heartfelt singer/songwriter based in the mountains of Colorado. Drawing inspiration from her childhood experiences performing in theatrical productions, Sarah found her true voice through songwriting after learning guitar, following her degree in Cultural Anthropology. After only three months of playing, she had her first guitar performance. Instantly hooked, 18 months later, she sold most of her belongings and set out on the road with just a backpack and her guitar. Her journey of exploration and curiosity has taken her from the jungles of Hawaii to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, down to the deserts of southern Utah, and up to the peaks of Colorado—each place influencing her musical releases and touching others along the way.
Sarah Banker’s ability to capture the complexity of emotions in simple yet expressive lyrics is a consistent strength across her music. Her songs feel universal and deeply personal, inviting listeners to reflect, heal, and embrace what’s to come.
Ultimately, her musical intention is to be a source of light and love through sound. She also hopes her music inspires others to be the best version of themselves, sharing, “You are the ONE, the one who has the potential to make the changes that lead to a fulfilling life experience. You have everything you need within you to take charge of your life.”
