Sarah Masen is a singer/songwriter originally from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, but has for several years lived in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, author David Dark and their three children. Initially signed to Charlie Peacock's re:think label, and subsequently to Word, she is now independent. As a songwriter, she's collaborated with Bela Fleck, Julie Lee, and Sam Ashworth.
Her self-titled debut won considerable attention and its breakout single "All Fall Down" was included in the soundtrack for the TV show Party of Five. Subsequent albums have not received similar mass media attention but have continued to earn critical plaudits.[1]
After the release of The Dreamlife of Angels in 2001, Masen did not release her own new material for six years, but in 2004, she contributed two tracks to Stars and Sirens, an album by Pristina, a collective of female artists teamed with producer Joey B. of The Echoing Green. She also continued to give occasional live performances, and offered new recordings through her website.
In 2007, she self-released three new EPs, containing a total of 15 songs[2]. The new works debuted at the Festival of Faith and Music.
