She has toured Italy twice as a singer/songwriter and with Slim and Meaux Jeaux in '09 singing American classics and standards. Sarah's torchy, swinging vocal style is a perfect fit for The Jitterbug Vipers with award winning jazz guitarist, Slim Richey and bassist extraordinaire, Francie Meaux Jeaux.
