Sarah Buxton:

Sarah Buxton moved to Nashville from Lawrence, Kansas, to attend Belmont University, where she quickly stood out among her peers. A blend of various musical influences shaped her unique sound, and her standout songwriting earned her a publishing deal at just 19. After collaborating with legendary producer Dann Huff, she shined during a showcase that led to six record deal offers, ultimately signing with Lyric Street Records. In 2010, she released her self-titled album, and Keith Urban revived her song "Stupid Boy," giving it new life. Following her time at Lyric Street, Sarah lent her vocals to artists like Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line, and Gwen Stefani, and co-wrote hits such as "Sun Daze" for Florida Georgia Line and "Fix" for Chris Lane.

In addition to her solo career, Sarah formed the band Skyline Motel, released two solo EPs (Signs of Life in 2020 and Moonriser in 2021), and continues to forge her path by releasing new music and touring with Kacey Musgraves. Her journey is a testament to her ability to evolve as both an artist and songwriter in Nashville’s competitive music scene.
