what people are saying:
“In the days of constant music streaming, it’s hard to find a record that takes its time. But Sara Davis Regan’s Riverland, released independently on May 1, is a rare exception. Its content matches its title, with eleven tracks set at a pace that calls us to pay attention, to relax, to let the sun in—and sometimes the shadows.” -Atwood Magazine
“Ultimately, what is so ear-catching about this record is the no frills approach to each composition. While they seem effortless, each song has a purpose. There is intention on this record. The album (Stills LP) is eight tracks of pure lyricism and instrumentation. The only complaint? Having to start the record over because I want more.” -College Radio
“I have cried listening to Sara’s music & then (other times) I’ve gotten envy-green & pissed off that I wasn’t writing lyrics like that when I started”
-Andy Baxter, Penny & Sparrow
“Both the lyrics and the music relax me and light me on fire at the same time. She somehow knows how to connect directly to my heart and massage it. When I’m at their shows out in the crowd, I feel immediately like we’re all best friends around a camp fire. They keep it simple and sweet and I’ve been missing that lately.”
- Eric Klein, Digital Director, C3 Presents
"Like their vintage polaroid album cover, Davis’ music is beautifully nostalgic. Wistful lyrics intertwine with Sara Davis Regans’ warm vocals to give this music its rich sound." - Greg LaRosa, Vaulted Sound
“I had known she was talented but never really heard it until I watched the video, I was sitting in a coffee shop and was crying about halfway through the video. I don’t think I even finished the song. I just called Andy and told him we needed to have her play with us.” - Kyle Jahnke, Penny & Sparrow
