Sarah Potenza, Rolling Stone's "Artist You Need to Know," will appear at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 19 at Woodbury's Bird Song Studio .

Nashville powerhouse singer Sarah Potenza was everywhere in Nashville during the Americana Music Festival, and fans and critics extolled her virtues.

Prior to the festival, Potenza's debut album MONSTER was released to rave reviews. Rolling Stone named her as one of their "Artists You Need To Know", and NPR Music exclusively premiered the music video to "Monster" here. The title track is also quickly moving up the Americana Radio chart, as programmers are supporting her gritty sound and unstoppable resolve. NPR Music calls "Monster" a "blistering, riff-propelled personal anthem," while No Depression states, "You won't find any gimmicks on MONSTER, just pure unadulterated rock and roll."

After years of touring with her band Sarah & The Tall Boys, Sarah Potenza was chosen over 50,000 candidates to appear on The Voice. After leaving the show as a top 20 finalist, she headed south to Nashville to start her next chapter. She quickly integrated into the local music scene and she became a staple at the world renowned Bluebird Café and the globally broadcast Music City Roots program. She continues to earn raves for her big voice, which seamlessly blends roots, rock and soul.
