Artist History Sarah Brindell grew up in a purple house on a hill in San Francisco. She was raised by a loving, slightly eccentric family of professional musicians, composers and writers (her mother is in the San Francisco Symphony, and her father is in the SF Opera and Ballet orchestras). During her childhood, she was happily inundated with lessons and performances in classical and jazz piano, poetry, acting, singing, and dance. Currently, she teaches songwriting at Berklee College of Music, and performs all over Boston, MA. She released "Piece of Mind" in March of 2003, with the help of an amazing band, featuring Mike Null on guitar, Chris Beam on bass, and Mauricio Zottarelli on drums/percussion. Cameo appearances are also made by her mother, Jill Brindel, on cello, her father, Bill Klingelhoffer, on French horn, her aunt Mary Stolper, on flute, and her brother Louis Klingelhoffer, on bass, throughout 4 of the seven soulful songs (+ 1 hidden track!!) on the album. She has performed at countless venues spanning from San Francisco, to New York City, to Boston, and continues to share her love of making music, and her ability to captivate an audience, with a community that is steadily growing.
