Sarah Mitchell has been singing for as long as she can remember, starting out in the church choir with her family when she was a child. Since then her passion for music has only deepened. She’s as comfortable singing a hymn as she is pouring her heart out in the blues or belting out a ballad. She’s thrilled now to join Wailon in bringing you the outlaw country experience.
