Renfro, multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter has been profiled in Quick Magazine, NBC DFW, TexasGigs.com, Pegasus News and MyDentonMusic.com and was recently featured on “The Jump”, a 30 minute program on Manhattan Neighborhood Network dedicated to highlight up and coming musical talent in NYC.

She has shared the stage and recorded with musicians such as Bernard Wright, Tony Scherr, Rob Jost, Ursa Minor, Robert DiPietro, Robert “Sput” Searight, Julie Bonk, Lynn Seaton, Stefan Karlsson, Dave Fiuczynski, Jovino Santos Neto, Paul Slavens, Pamela Rodriguez, and Snarky Puppy.
Sarah discovered a passion for music at a young age by playing piano and a variety of woodwinds. At the University of North Texas, she studied a wide range of vocal styles including jazz, classical, folk, rock, pop, Brazilian and Peruvian. Her artistic influences include Cat Power, Ani DiFranco, Amanda Palmer, Bob Dylan, E.E. Cummings and David Lynch.
She also garnered a following with Dallas jazz bands and her own project, 80 sheets. In both worlds, she became a familiar face on stage at Denton rock venues as well as the Dallas Museum of Art and many DFW jazz venues and festivals including the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, NL. Since moving to Brooklyn in 2006, her songwriting has matured and taken a more acoustic flavor. In that time she has played venues such as Caffé Vivaldi, Rockwood Music Hall, Banjo Jim’s, The Knitting Factory, The Delancey, Santos Party House, Southpaw and BAMcafé Live.
