Sarah Clanton Schaffer
~ More Than Just "The Girl with the Cello"
Sarah is a energetic woman who can barely keep still. There's so much music to play! You may have seen Sarah playing with the once guitar/cello female duo Adelle Cotton, (formerly known in the South East as O Mello Cello Tree). Now Sarah is striking out on her own for the first time embarking on a solo journey! Living in Greenville South Carolina, Sarah spends her time writing music, collaborating with local and regional artists and writers and teaching cello lessons. Look for her debut solo album in 2012!
Although classically trained from kindergarten through college, Sarah’s heart has always belonged to rock n roll. Sarah's song crafting and character has evolved thanks to the roads she's traveled, people she's met and the many places she has lived. Her smooth like honey vocals venture through soul, jazz, rock and folk. Along with her quirky vocals and long hair flying in musical abandon (some may call it headbanging), the rhythmic yet melodic voice of the cello provides a unique storytelling experience. But that's not all, Sarah also plays and writes on guitar, and is discovering the lovable world of mandolin. The fun never stops!
After graduating from Furman University in 2007, Sarah has gigged around the South East with the Foothills Philharmonic Orchestra, collaborating with folks like Taylor Moore, Edwin McCain, opening for artists like Ben Sollee, and playing in her duo Adelle Cotton at venues like the Swannaee Springfest in Live Oak Florida in 2011. Sarah has also spent time (2008-2010) producing and booking the solar powered festival Music in the Woods at Paris Mountain State Park in Greenville, South Carolina.
Listeners and fans have compared Sarah with of such great artists as Rickie Lee Jone, Norah Jones, Regina Spektor, Frank Zappa and John Lennon. Check it out! Catch a show! And make up your own mind about this whimsical adventure seeker with stars in her eyes.
