Sara Petite
Wow! You have obviously never seen Sara Petite perform live with any of her bands. She is truly professional and captures the crowd with her charm, talent, and stage presence every time. She has also won numerous songwriting competitions and her songs have been placed on country compilations with the likes of Dolly Parton and Lucinda Williams. I've been to several of Petite's shows, and every time I introduce someone to her music, they are impressed with the melding of rock, country, and bluegrass elements (ie "Americana"), and come away smiling and energized from all the positive energy her performance gives you. The critic who wrote this column should do a little research before simply spouting her unimformed opinions, and perhaps experience the artist's work in person (it's not so difficult, these musicians are all local) before stating that the music would only resonate in a barn. It's very insulting to an amazing writer and performer. She is a gem of the San Diego music scene, and her work resonates everywhere she goes.— June 29, 2009 11:02 a.m.
