Sarah Grain and the Billions of Stars
Sarah Grain and the Billions of Stars is a folk, jazz, bassa-nova, and rock band from Indianapolis. According to her Facebook profile, “Grain began playing with drummer/producer Ryan Koch and bassist Nate Gray while recording her folk album ‘Terrain’ in 2010”. “Terrain” was a collaborative project with Ryan Koch and Nate Gray. The two later joined in to become members of the Billions of Stars. After Sarah Grain and the Billions of Stars formed in 2014, the band released its debut album “Something Wild” in 2017. You can listen to both albums by visiting their Bandcamp page.
Songs like “Meadow Blue” from the album “Something Wild” feature a low-tempo, relaxed feel and reverb-soaked guitar lines. Sarah Grain’s vocals drift above it all, and drive the song ever forward.
