Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Sarah Pierce

Sarah Pierce, the daughter of a cowboy, raised in a family of cattlemen, was born in Rockford, Illinois. The main ranch, Woodlawn Farm, was in Creston, Illinois. Sarah’s family raised Angus cattle and built the herd around a bull named Wellington. That bull won Grand Champion at The Chicago World Fair in 1893. The line continues today.

Sarah’s father was not an Angus breeder but a working cowboy and was until he passed at the young age of thirty eight. Sarah was raised in rural West Texas. In the 6th grade she was kicked out of the children’s choir because she sang too low…her incredible alto voice already making itself be known. She would later get on her mare and sing to the cattle in the fields, as Pierce says “They didn’t seem to mind”.

Sarah’s dream of becoming a legitimate singer began to take shape at age 12, singing in her stepfathers band.

Always studying voice, after receiving her degree in medical science she began her musical journey. One that she is still traveling today.

Sarah has toured hundreds of thousands of miles – both domestic and foreign – receiving rave reviews at fairs, festivals, conventions, and concert dates from New York City to Los Angeles and Northern British Columbia to San Antonio, France, Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia. Her willingness to self-promote her music has included a driving tour of 250 NPR/AC/Country radio stations across the country, doing interviews and live on-air performances. In addition, she has been seen in performance on MTV and was heard as the singing voice of Calamity Jane on the Emmy-nominated Time-Life television mini-series, The Wild West.

With the release of her eighth album, Bring It On, and the first single, Butterfly Tattoo, going to #5 in the nation on Independent Country Charts, Sarah once again was able to show that she is an absolutely viable artist both commercially and more importantly creatively. Sarah then released her 9th CD, Barbed Wire.

“Barbed Wire has been a long time coming. It definitely could be seen as a follow up to my autobiographical Cowboy’s Daughter CD. This one is absolutely ‘all cards on the table.’ That is what I love most about it…having the courage to not chase anything just write my songs. Tell the truth, and let the chips fall as they may!” “Barbed Wire came to life after my husband, Merel Bregante, and I moved to the country. One day, while clearing pasture, I came across an old rusted barbed wire fence. I did some research and found that it was manufactured by hand in 1876. I held it in my hand and thought…this looks like me…it is old, rusted and… it still works.

Barbed Wire, had 3 singles on the Texas Music Charts. “I’m Sorry”, a song written with Willy Braun, going Top 20. Sarah was CMA of Texas female Vocalist Of The Year in 2018 and 2019. Her song Barbed Wire was CMA of Texas Cowboy Song Of The Year in 2019.

Sarah’s new CD, Blessed By The West, was officially released 9/13/2024. Sarah is now actively promoting her new CD to radio, press, and she is touring. Sarah is proudly a member of the AQHA, IWMA, WWA, and the AWA. She recently was nominated by The IWMA for Female Performer Of The Year 2024.
