Sick of Sarah began in Minneapolis, MN in April 2005 as an
all-female band with catchy hooks, unique lyrics, and
thoughtful, well-crafted music. The band displays talent,
passion, and an ever-present sense of humor that shapes many
of their songs. They combine sympathetic acoustic moments
with driving electric rock, often in the same song. With
influences ranging from John Fohgerty to Joan Jett, Sleater-Kinney
to Vanessa Carlton, Sick of Sarah brings an energy and
blended alternative pop-rock style that will have you
singing along after the first chorus.
Guitar player, lead singer, and songwriter, Abisha Uhl, 25 has an ear for pop, a mouth for rock, and an attitude for punk. She first picked up a guitar at age 13 in Okinawa, Japan where she lived until she was 18 and moved to the US. She began listening to Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, which led to her becoming a solo artist in the Minneapolis area and eventually becoming a founding member of Sick of Sarah. Her lyrics speak maturely and sometimes humorously of love, loss, and often nothing at all, but regardless of the topic, Abisha will sing every song likes its the greatest thing anyones ever heard.
Lead guitarist and back-up vocalist, Katie Murphy, 24, was always involved some type of musical endeavor growing up in South St. Paul, MN. She began teaching herself piano at 15 years old and acoustic guitar when she was 16. Always looking to advance her skills, she picked up the electric guitar early on during the course of Sick of Sarah's construction per the bands request, and has since found that flexibility and creativity are the keys to her performance. Katie lists Jewel and John Fohgerty as her biggest musical influences.
