专辑简介

Sarah Gerritsen is bursting upon the Northwest's singer/songwriter scene like a revelation: a vocalist with a strong and versatile instrument, a rocker’s nervy instincts, and a respect for alt country americana traditions that choreograph well with the Northwest’s current crop of songtellers, without following in their wake. What’s most remarkable is that Gerritsen has stayed in the shadows of the music scene for so many years, seldom showing her cards, quietly honing her writing skills, building a nationwide network of industry relationships, attending countless shows and becoming a genuine fan of Seattle’s finest new talent (many of whom lent their skills to her debut EP, Origin).

“Working with Sarah was an amazing experience,” says studio producer Kevin Veatch (who has also worked with Zach Fleury, Ryan Lewis & Macklemore), “Sarah is brimming with thoughtfulness and energy, and everything about her music reflects it.”

Origin shows Gerritsen to be a first-rate songwriter whose literate and deeply personal work deals with the realities of life, family and love with intelligence, honesty, and heart, gliding effortlessly between smart and stylish contemporary americana, through southern gospel, to smooth flowing acoustic funk/rock all while defining her own style.
