Singer, songwriter and guitarist Sarah Lightman is based in Nashville following an eight-year Los Angeles residency, having been raised in Central New Jersey. Those experiences, in different parts of the country, are carried in her voice and songwriting. There’s a knowing confidence, an intelligence, about her lyrics and song structure, highlighted by the very lovely “Silence.”

“Today” is better still; the video begins with Lightman stepping up to a mic and taking a deep breath before letting loose. “‘Today”’ serves as a powerful anthem for those facing the daunting task of making difficult decisions,” she says. Important stuff!
