All About Sara
sara hickman likes to write about things that pop into her head, like bowls full of stars and kerosene and faithful hearts and cantaloupe and birdhouses.
she likes to sing, too. she will whip out her guitar at parties and around campfires to get everyone singing along. she likes lots of voices singing. as she says,"it only takes one voice to start a choir."
she feels sad when she sees homeless people, and stops to see what can be done. she likes to go in hospitals and sing for kids and cancer patients, and she wishes she could breakdance really well to raise funds for the children of uganda, but since she isn't much of a dancer, she joined a blogathon instead and wrote for 24 hours straight to raise money/awareness.
her high score in bowling is 197.
she rode in an elevator with pete townshend, sang a duet with george burns, wrote flamenco guitar music for a play that starred melissa gilbert, and charmed johnny carson twice on his late night show.
she has recorded 14 albums to date, some for big people, some for small.
she doodles, and will leave a chalk mark on your sidewalk if you're not home.
she thinks austin is weirdly wonderful and encourages it to stay that way.
if you want to start a dialogue, you can always email her at sara@sarahickman.com, and, dagnabit, if she won't answer you ASAP.
the end. for now.
Sara Hickman released her "Motherlode", a two-disc CD set of 20 songs, on June 20, 2006.
Disc One contains songs of universal woe and quiet lament in conjunction with womankind: from depression, addiction, domestic violence, murder, insomnia, Sara's family ties to President John and Abigail Adams, a mother's hands, and finding faith in one's own song.
Disc Two is a woman's heart, bright and sparkling, with undercurrents of frustration and wanting: returning to the joys of love, sex, hope, saints, children, little birds and the garden.
Created with the listener in mind — to let you inside Sara's mind. Choose your mood, and choose your disc.
