Our good friend “Trigger183″  is always on the prowl looking for up and coming singer/songwriters and performers.  He has certainly found a favorite in Sarah Buxton.  With her upcoming album and single “Outside My Window” I am excited to hear that her live performances are selling out and that her fans are a strong force that will help take her to that next level in country music.

Last night I went to see Sarah Buxton perform at 2nd Avenue Live in Nashville. The show was awesome!!! She performed with Jedd Hughes and Hugh Mitchell, both outstanding singer/songwriter/performers, and started the show with a few of her previous hits (or cuts that would be hits if radio knew what it was doing) like “American Daughter” and “Outside My Window”. Then she and the new band, for this evening, had the place dancing and singing along while they blasted through some new material that she and Jedd Hughes have been writing for the last several weeks. Outstanding tracks include “Mr. Gideon”, “I’ll Be Your Blue Sky”, “Radio Love”. She also included “Space” and “Stupid Boy” as part of the evening’s set list. At one point Jedd Hughes commented that “the place was so quiet, it was supposed to be a party” and Sarah responded, “It’s okay…they are listening…” which brought tremendous round of applause and cheering from the audience. As usual, after the show, Sarah and the band all hung around for autographs, pictures and chit-chat. Several times during the evening, I heard audience members comment that this combination of Hughes and Buxton could blow away the likes of Sugarland, Lady Antebellum with their chemistry and performance on stage. I truly believe that Sarah’s rendition of her song “Stupid Boy” would quickly top Keith Urban’s version should she choose to release it on her own.
