Biography

Sarah became actively involved in music as a child by learning piano, playing flute and joining a children's choir. She sang Patty Loveless' "Blame It On Your Heart" at a talent show as a junior in high school. As she learned more about music, she became interested in songwriters and began writing poetry. After graduation, she met one of her musical idols, Stevie Nicks, who encouraged her to pursue music and move to Nashville, Tennessee.

Buxton enrolled at Nashville's Belmont University and started a Southern rock band called Stoik Oak, which toured the region for three years. After an 18-month engagement, she married Christopher Robin of the Christopher Robin Band when she was 22. However, they divorced shortly afterwards. She also felt discouraged about finding a place for her voice in the music business but found further encouragement from one of her friends, John Rich of Big & Rich. She asked her publisher to set up some co-writing sessions, and she became more confident in her approach to singing and songwriting.

Buxton signed to Lyric Street Records in 2006. Her first single, "Innocence", was released to country radio in 2006, followed by "That Kind of Day" in 2007. Both were included on a five-song digital EP entitled "Almost My Record", released only to digital retailers. One of the album's tracks, "Love Is a Trip", was used by ABC to promote its "Men In Trees" drama series.

She has also sung backup on several other artists' albums These albums include Kenny Rogers' album "Water and Bridges", Cowboy Troy's "Loco Motive", and John Corbett's eponymous debut album. Keith Urban also recorded and released "Stupid Boy", a song which Buxton co-wrote, on his album "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing", and the album features Buxton singing backup on the track "Tu Compañía". Buxton also recorded a duet with Dierks Bentley called "Sweet & Wild" on his greatest hits album, "Greatest Hits/Every Mile a Memory 2003-2008". This song charted at #51 on the country charts, although Buxton was not credited.
