Sarah Gargano is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter born and raised in NYC - after living abroad for a year and a half, she is now based in Nashville. Sarah has been writing since she was fifteen and released her first EP in 2018. As detailed in American Songwriter, Sarah’s “highly melodic acoustic-based songs consistently feature insightful and introspective lyrics that often tackle unusual subjects.”
A travel fanatic, Sarah has performed widely, opened for Jeffrey Lewis in Huddersfield, England and continues to play gigs in many different cities. Sarah has also recently been writing songs for other artists - along with Cole Lumpkin’s song ‘Ghost’ that is already on all streaming platforms, more songs she has cuts on will be released this year. Outside of her music career, Sarah enjoys frolicking in flower fields, crying over fictional characters, arts-n-crafting, taking pictures, antique hunting, journaling, and eating cookie dough. She attended Oberlin College and has a degree in creative writing and sociology. On the side, Sarah also runs her own small jewelry business, Made By Paper Girl.

“Her highly melodic acoustic-based songs consistently feature insightful and introspective lyrics that often tackle unusual subjects.”
-
“[Sarah] captures the raw and honest sensibility of early 2000s indie rockers such as The Moldy Peaches, with a confessional nature that focuses on elements of mental health and taking a look at our own demons within. A blend of catchy indie rock and pop that also packs a sweet emotional punch.”

“Up-and-coming indie pop-punk singer-songwriter Sarah Gargano is fast making a name for herself with her quirky, catchy acoustic-based songs, following along the same path as performers like Ingrid Michaelson and Kate Nash – but there’s also a hint of ‘90s cool-girl artists like Lisa Loeb in the mix (although, at 21 years old, Gargano wasn’t even born yet when Loeb was having her heyday). Gargano readily acknowledges these influences, though she’s also determined to carve out her own identity. She did just that on her 2018 debut EP, “Paper Girl,” where she brings an insightful, empathetic voice to lyrics that discuss the unique challenges that she and other young women are encountering as they navigate the current tumultuous social climate (though she does so without seeming self-pitying). She displays a maturity well beyond her years, which can perhaps be attributed to her New York City upbringing.”
