Sarah Banker is a rising voice in folk-pop lending her well-traveled background and adventurous spirit to the music she creates. Her latest EP Into the Heart is an eccentric capstone that chronicles the lessons Banker has learned from living life on the road with her guitar. The four-track project celebrates Banker’s tenacity as an artist and beams with brazen originality.
Into the Heart speaks straight to the soul with lush melodies, effervescent acoustics, and transcendent percussion that sets the pace for a transformative journey. Banker sings, “It’s never too late / It’s never too far / Just keep on moving / Out of the head and into the heart.” There’s an element of surrender that presents itself throughout the EP. Banker ultimately concludes that when you let go of stress and expectations, new possibilities present themselves to you. Into the Heart is a powerful homecoming to the self as Banker reminisces on the lessons she’s learned as an artist through her travels.
Sarah Banker grew up immersed in theater and performance art which naturally translated to her present passion for songwriting. Into the Heart was produced by Jeff Franca at his 9,000 foot high studio in the mountains of Colorado. Into the Heart is Banker’s latest release, signaling an enthralling new chapter for her as an artist.
