BIO Recording artist and singer/songwriter Sarah Lightman, newly based in Nashville, Tennessee (originally from Central New Jersey) moved from an 8 year Los Angeles residency. She started in music as a street performer in Downtown Burbank, CA and climbed to having her music video featured on the jumbotron at Universal CityWalk, Los Angeles while performing at various residencies all over the city and touring on the East Coast - including the NAMM Mainstage and CityWalk. She has also performed at The Water Lantern Festival and was invited back to play multiple cities and states throughout 2023. Sarah is also sponsored by Luna Guitars, Cleartone Strings, and Empire Ears. Fun fact, her first guitar she owned at 18 was a Luna Guitar. She liked the brand and their tribal message so much that she connected with them directly and built a relationship. "Community and quality of relationships are incredibly important to me. Luna is one of the first to integrate instruments shaped for all genders and individual uniqueness. Not many brands thought about women picking up a guitar they way that Luna has." The sponsorship with them began when she offered to feature several of their instruments in her first music video "Home" that played on the jumbotron. Not long after that, Sarah was invited to partner with Empire Ears and Cleartone Strings after they heard about her through a mutual connection. When the pandemic started and in person gigs were put on pause, she wanted to keep connecting with fans through live music on Twitch. Her main focus is advocating for mental health through the medium of her original songs. By sharing the adversity she has overcome, the resilience she has developed, and the wisdom she learns, she hopes to help others know they can face their fears and live beyond theirs too. Known for her uniquely soulful voice and smooth, clear tone that cuts like a knife, she aims to provide a refreshing outlet for pop listeners.

Additional Booking Notes I'll be bringing a wireless JBL PA system (one speaker, can being a second speaker if necessary) with an Audix 0M7 standard mic setup as well as any additional cables, iPad and clip, stands, and such. Since both the PA system and guitar are powered up by charged batteries, no power will be needed! Just a shady spot (if outside) that is friendly for the instrument, and equipment so that the space can be filled appropriately. You may notice, I am not the cheapest choice. I deliver only top quality service! Would you want anything less than top notch? Quality over quantity in most cases can help influence the results of your event a great deal. From being well rehearsed, on time, flexible, personable, to being able to perform a plethora of genres and be easy to work with. You deserve the best and the most success! Aside from first listen and overview of my profile, here is why I am the top choice for your special moment!

I've seen Sarah perform live 8 times, and in every one it is obvious that the music she performs is played professionally and is felt deeply, and that readily transfers to all but the least appreciative of talent. She also engages with the audience. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Sarah Lightman is a rising star. As a soulful pop artist, Sarah has amazing originals that listeners can relate to and enjoy. Both upbeat and heartfelt originals. She also does covers of songs. Sarah is so very kind and engaging with the audience. It was so hard to only select three items working with Sarah in the review because all five items listed apply. If you want an extremely talented artist that you can completely count on, please book Sarah. I guarantee you will not only appreciate Sarah’s performance, but you will want her back for a future event.

Sarah Lightman brings a great presence to her in-person shows/gigs. She engages with the audience, takes requests, and does her best to make the show an enjoyable experience for everyone. Her amazing, unique, voice ensures that her shows are distinguishable from other artists. While staying true to her unique style, she delivers enjoyable covers that really resonate with her audience. -J.D.

Sarah Lightman is one of the hardest working independent musicians I have ever met. She is a Luna artist and I had the pleasure of working with her as a Brand Director for Luna Guitars. One of Sarah’s best traits is finding ways to resonate with her audience and turning that concept into song lyrics. It’s brilliant. She always works hard to take her performance to a new level and keep the audience wanting more. 10/10 I will be working with her again in the future 🙌🏼
