Sarah Matthews Band

Our band has played festivals and winery gigs, anything from a 2 person band (smaller/stripped down sets/acoustic) to larger 5 person band for bigger festivals and more rocking songs. Sarah Matthews is the main singer and quite versatile in her singing and her band is pretty great at adapting to most environments and acoustics for each occasion. We love playing for events and doing shows that get people singing along and even dancing too. We mostly play original music but are happy to perform cover songs as requested.

Sarah Matthews was born and raised in San Francisco, CA. She is what you'd call "blue-eyed soul" or some say she's an old soul.

In 2016, Sarah finished her album "As I Am", demonstrating her ability to sing multiple genres while describing many of her personal life stories through song. Currently she is working on a new album which reflects more on the social and emotional struggles of today. Sarah studied vocal jazz and classical voice at SF State and finished her masters in music education at Holy Names University. She is a music teacher by day but a bad-ass musician by night.

Sarah Matthews has performed in many professional choirs and ensembles around the world. Locally, she sang at Davies Symphony Hall in SF and City National Civic Auditorium in San Jose for "Symphony of Our World" and "The Legend of Zelda".  Internationally, she toured to Greece in 2019 with her choir WomenSing. In 2009, she sang at the SAP Center for "Star Wars Live in Concert" and she has recorded with many opera singers for movie trailers at Lucas Valley Ranch. She even whistled on one of the tracks! Sarah is no stranger to the SF night-life music scene though. She has performed at venues such as Pier 23, Bottom of the Hill, Red Devil Lounge, Kimo's, Neck of the Woods, Hotel Utah, Starry Plough (in Berkeley), Palace of Fine Arts (for the Vegetarian Food Festival in 2019), Sweet Inspiration Bakery, Grant and Green, 50mason among many others. Sarah has and will sing for almost any occasion imaginable: birthdays, weddings, church masses, caroling gigs, winery events, you name it!

We can bring our own equipment but if there is a need for a drummer it would be nice to have it back lined if possible (depending on the venue, occasion, etc)
