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
