Artist History Just before graduating from Wellesley College, Sarah Glynn drastically altered her post-college plans: she would skip out on Med School and focus entirely on her music. In less than 2 years, Sarah, now 26, moved from Boston to Austin, released a CD (for which she wrote, recorded and performed all instruments) and put together a 4-piece live band, formerly called Lucy & the Luck Band. Sarah describes her quirky pop/rock, which is often layered with violin, banjo and horn arrangements, as “somewhere between Liz Phair and the Police – intricate parts with a strong rhythmic push forward”. Despite the many layers in Sarah’s mixes, she claims to take a minimalist approach to songwriting and production. Her lyrics have been described as “smart and slightly acidic” and her voice has drawn comparisons to Juliana Hatfield and the Sunday’s Harriet Wheeler. Compositions of Sarah’s have found their way into independent films, including "Girl Wrestler" ’02, "Prize Whores" ’01, and A "Pursuit Race" ’97, and onto local and national compilation CD’s. She is currently putting finishing touches on her sophomore effort, "To Sweeten Up", which will be released in late fall ’02, (under her own name).

Press Reviews "The 24-year-old exhibits such songwriting moxie and confident command of her multi-instrumental talent that her band could be The Next Big Thing, or at least The Next Big Thing After That...the song (All the Dogs)is so catchy, the performance so accomplished, I do a 'take,' eyes bulging and jaw dropping to chest." - Austin American Statesman "Not since Belly's Star album, have I been so enchanted by a female artist's entire album - great lyrics, vocals, and sound." - customer, CDBaby "Fronted by a mean axe-wielder with a delicate touch, the Luck Band needn't rely on chance to snare fans with its intricate, dual twin-guitar web." - Austin Chronicle
