about.

music, the most incredible language. 

I was blessed with musical blood and it drives me to live. To seek truth. To feel sadness. To understand loss. To teach the unknown. To accept failure. To praise justice. To express. To trust. And most of all to love. I continue to compose my story and want to share it with you.

I thank you all for being a part of my journey.

“One Last Tear” - Sara Routh

“Routh’s work manages to catch you in time and make your world stop for a little bit. Her lyrics are good; she is clever and clearly writes from her heart. But it is that voice and the way she makes it dip and dive and swirl around your head like a half-remembered dream that make Black Sheep worth your time and effort.”

Des Moines, and Des Moines Music Coalition just to name a few…), Sara passionately believes in the importance of music education to empower our youth with the ability to express themselves and hone their skills in creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving.
