Sarah Siskind and Taylor Leonhardt to perform a matinee show at Grace Brevard on September 7, 2025 at 4PM.

Brevard, NC resident Sarah Siskind released her new album “Simplify” in April to high acclaim. NPR named it “one of the top 5 albums released on April 18, 2025. It’s a love letter to music.” With a style steeped in Appalachian Roots, but always pushing genre lines, her authenticity as an artist and songwriter has never waivered.

Just recently, Robert Plant announced his upcoming album of covers set for September release which will include “Too Far From You”, written by Siskind. Other covers include Alison Krauss, Wynonna, Randy Travis, Points of Grace, and many others.

Siskind has shared the stage with heroes Bonnie Raitt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Paul Brady, Swell Season, and Bon Iver. More than 20 of her songs were featured on the hit TV series Nashville including the unofficial theme song, “A Life That’s Good.”

Taylor Leonhardt, Native Texan and now Nashvillian, is first and foremost a craftsman. Whether she's penning tunes for her solo project or for her duo Mission House with Jess Ray, it’s always about the song. She also writes and performs as part of Paper Horses.

The Gospel Coalition recently called Taylor “one of the most promising singer-songwriters in Nashville these days", naming her latest project Hold Still one of the best albums of 2021. In addition to touring and writing, she spends time across the US leading music and conversations for spiritual retreats, creative workshops, and faith communities.

The two will share songs and stories in this intimate and rare matinee show.
