Sara
Mann is a bona-fide triple threat as a singer-songwriter-stage
performer. She represents a winning combination
of sensitivity, songcraft, beauty and pure star
quality.
Sara’s love of
music blossomed at the early age of 5, when she
began playing piano by ear. Soon after, her first
compositions and lyrics began to appear. As a teenager
Sara had eclectic listening tastes; she grooved
on everything from Top 40 artists to Broadway musicals
to jazz singers. Her compositions and songwriting
style gracefully emerged to reflect her moods and
feelings, instead of simply echoing the music she
was listening to at any given time.
She has been playing
piano now for 20 years, and guitar and bass for
7…singing her whole life.
Performances
Since 1998 Sara has
been a featured singer (duet and solo) for the legendary
Harry Belafonte, on a never-ending world tour now
in its 6th year. This has broadened Sara’s
horizons, giving her an appreciation for world and
Jazz music, and for the intensity of life on the
road. Sara has shared the stage with such Jazz greats
as Joe Zawinul, Richard Bona, Jean-Michel Pilc,
Mamadu Ba and Jose Neto.
In 2001-2002 Sara also
toured with The Brian Setzer Orchestra, playing
shows across the country including the Greek Theatre,
Hollywood Bowl, 3 sellouts in Atlantic City and
the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. She recently made her
Broadway debut as well, as a singer in the musical
“Saturday Night Fever.” Several of Sara’s
original songs can be heard on various episodes
of MTV’s “Real World Las Vegas.”
In 2003 Sara has had
a recurring role in NBC’s hit drama “American
Dreams” as a guitar-playing folk singer, as
well as writing and performing the ending credits
