Details:
Formed in 2006, Sarah Beth and Sarah King of Indian Summer Jars have become known for their diverse and driving percussive guitar rhythms, lyrics of unusual originality, and memorably distinct melodies and harmonies to seal the deal. Their catalog of songs is incredible for such a ripe young band, over 250 titles to name. The yin and yang of this duo is what has made them work so well together and continue to grow as the time moves forward. With Sarah Beth''s smoky alto vibe coupled with Sarah King''s flexible and sultry soprano/alto variations, the vocals are sure to strike a chord with any listening ear. Start to peel away the rind of the song content and you''ll find way more than meets the wayfaring listeners ear. The songs each are strong entities of themselves, but all tie together a book that continues to be written everyday, one with stories of great explorers, of wild whiskey bars, and falling in and out of love and lust. It''s about letting go and moving forward, about accepting faults in ourselves and one another, and redefining ourselves as we redefine one another.
The band name, Indian Summer Jars, is inspired by the warmth and impulsivity that an unexpected turn in the weather can bring. Indian Summer Jars (Sarah Beth & Sarah King) feel that during the Indian Summer people are more likely to be spontaneous venturing outside of their comfort zone, breaking from routine, and opening themselves up to experiences that will shape and change their lives forever. The “Jars” part of their name is indicative of preserving memorable moments & experiences to share with others thus inspiring them to create their own.
