COMING SOON: Sara Groves "Invisible Empires"

The latest from Sara Groves
arrives October 18th.


I've boldly articulated my unabashed passion for Sara Groves since first discovering her music early last year. Simply put, I believe this Springfield, Missouri native to be the greatest singer/songwriter   since   Brian   Wilson.   In   fact,   even  acknowledged  modern-day  pop  messiah  Butch  Walker cowers and runs for cover like a little sissy whenever Sara Groves  enters  the  room.  (Or  at least  I imagine  that he would.)  And it gives me indescribable joy to post here that her long awaited new record, Invisible Empires will drop on October 18th. I just purchased,"Eyes on the Prize," the first single off the album from iTunes this morning, and as expected, it's epic! The video clip below is a stripped-down acoustic version of "Eyes" and is perhaps even more powerful than the full-band album version.
Acoustic version of Sara Groves' new single, "Eyes on the Prize."

Sara Groves' 2004 classic, "Less Like Scars."
(Natalie Merchant wishes she could rock the
"Sunday-go-to-meetin'-look" like Sara does!)

After numerous recent failed attempts to be granted admittance to one of her typically sold-out  concert appearances (Apparently I'm not such a "big shot" after all), I'm praying that Jesus will give me Sara Groves tickets for Christmas this year!
