September 18, 2024Unforgettable wedding cocktail hour thanks to Sarah!
We had the pleasure of having Sarah perform during our wedding cocktail hour, and they truly made the experience unforgettable. Her talent as both a singer and guitarist was evident from the first song, creating the perfect ambiance for our special day. Sarah’s voice was soulful and captivating, and the guitar playing added a personal, acoustic touch that our guests absolutely loved.
Several of our guests complimented the music throughout the evening, and we couldn’t have been happier with the performance. Sarah was also a joy to work with—professional, friendly, and accommodating to our requests (she even flew in from Nashville to Hamilton!) Sarah made it so easy and effortless for us. They really set the tone for a magical evening, and we would highly recommend Sarah for any special event!

May 20, 2024Amazing Talent
Sarah Lightman's performance at our 'Amped Up the Love' event was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment she took the stage, her presence was captivating, and her energy was infectious. Sarah's voice is a rare and beautiful instrument, effortlessly blending power and emotion in every note. Her repertoire, a seamless mix of pop hits and heartfelt ballads, resonated deeply with our audience, leaving everyone spellbound.
Sarah's ability to connect with her audience is truly exceptional. She doesn't just sing; she tells a story with each song, drawing us into her world and making us feel every emotion. Her performance was a highlight of the evening, and she brought an incredible sense of joy and unity to our event.
We are immensely grateful for Sarah's contribution to 'Amped Up the Love.' Her talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for music make her a standout performer. We look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable musical experience.

As you walk down the aisle, you'll be greeted by your loved one's comforting faces, incredible floral smells, and decor.

Rehearsal Dinner/Private parties/Dinner Parties/Birthday Dinners:
While everyone is enjoying the night and toasting over dinner celebrating, picture me in a semi formal outfit adding sprinkles of guest of honor's favorite songs with your meal. All are welcome to listen, sing along, or share a laugh or a fun story with the party. If there's any inspiration, dance if you wish!

About
Sarah Lightman is locally based in Nashville, Tennessee, but she travels all over the USA and beyond for private events and soon touring! 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. She most recently worked with Pfizer, Coca Cola’s Coke Studios, and performed at an after party for NASCAR this October 2023. More info on my website.
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. 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 she aims to provide a refreshing outlet for pop listeners. Click to get a quote for your event and start a conversation with Sarah now!
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.
