San Diego singer/songwriter Sara Petite returns to the Kensington Club on Friday September 20th with her “Americana Roundup” show. Sara Petite, a 10 time San Diego Music Award winner and prolific singer/songwriter with 7 released albums, hosts “Sara Petite’s Americana Roundup” - an evening of music, mirth and merriment. Showcasing Sara’s band and including a number of guest singers and performers from the San Diego area, this evening promises a special treat by featuring renowned singer/songwriter John Eddie. John Eddie is a skilled vocalist, composer, and energetic live act, who has also ventured into writing and producing for movies and television (Agent Elvis, Netflix). Eddie has gained a loyal audience with his captivating live shows and sincere lyrics that are filled with honest, real-life experiences, clever humor, and reflections on life, love, and everything in between. After his debut album on Lost Highway, Who the Hell is John Eddie?, Eddie relocated to Nashville, where his music was recognized and recorded by notable artists such as Brantley Gilbert, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, and Sammy Hagar. As a traveling musician, Eddie has shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen, Miranda Lambert, Bob Seger, John Mayer, and many more. Bruce quickly became a fan and has supported John's career from the start, even performing with him on stage over the years. Sara Petite is a headlining Outlaw Country performer whose music transcends the genre's boundaries. Sara has built an award-winning career with songs that draw from both the rock & roll roadhouse as they do the honky-tonk. Born and raised in the countryside of Sumner, Washington, her rural youth helped shaped her songwriting, which often incorporates pedal steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin. Hers is a raw, rough-edged version of American roots music, delivered by a five-time International Songwriting Competition finalist who's spent nearly two decades calling her own shots. Sara has no interest in chasing trends. She's too busy chasing the muse instead, performing on both sides of the Atlantic, and earning a wide range of accolades — including Top 40 success on the Americana charts and international airplay.
