Thayer Sarrano

"In Athens, Georgia, Thayer Sarrano is probably best known for her supporting keyboard playing. Currently in Hank Sullivant’s band Kuroma, she also plays/has played with Ben Mize, Dave Marr, Don Chambers, Elijah Neesmith, Fabulous Bird, Jim Wilson, Justin Evans, Kaitlin Jones and the county fair, Little Francis, Nate Nelson, Patrick Carey, and Sweet Tooth Simpleton. A few years ago, Thayer began performing her own songs that she writes on guitar, and has had a rotating cast of band members drawn from these other projects.

Thayer Sarrano playes a dark style of folk music, made more psychedelic by the addition of the lap steel. Both Sarrano’s vocals and lyrics seem weightless as she writes ethereal, haunting, often hymn-like music—that also maintains a southern quality. There is a quiet power found in both the fragility and conviction that emanates through these entrancing songs."

The band currently exists as a duo with Nate Nelson on lap steel, or as a 5 piece electric band. The debut album, "King", was recently released on Aug. 20th, 2009. "King" can be purchased online at CD BABY- www.cdbaby.com/thayersarrano....or in stores in athens [wuxtry records, schoolkids records, and daily co-op] or athensmusic.net.
