Sarah Brunner

      Michigan native, now Seattle-based, Sarah Brunner is a full time musician, both solo and with her band The Hipocrats. With influences ranging from Brandi Carlile, to Sam Smith to The Lumineers, she uses rhythm guitar just as much as a vocal melody to define a song. Passionate about creating experiences in person, like setting the vibe for a small room or big stage, Sarah’s main focus is playing live shows and touring. She has been playing professionally since 2013 starting in East Lansing, MI while studying marketing and business management at Michigan State University. From here, she branched out to perform abroad in hostels in the UK, and continued to busk her way through Europe. Her heart, however, has always been in Seattle so she relocated in 2017 and has lived there since. 

       In October 2021, Sarah released her first single, “Caravan,” featuring her friend from the music scene, Tyler McGinnis. It felt like meeting her musical soulmate, so the two decided to write music together and create their Americana band, The Hipocrats. Since forming in the fall of 2021, they have released a debut EP titled “Road to Joy” which has hit over 20,000 streams on Spotify and completed a 5 month, 90 show, 26 state national tour, performing as a duo and as a trio with their fiddle player, Ruth Navarre. Since then, The Hipocrats have released a single, “The Breeze,” and are currently doing smaller tours around the state of Washington, and preparing to record their debut full length album. 

       Sarah he has a deep interest in everything in the music business. She booked The Hipocrats' Road to Joy National Tour, logging over 400 hours on the project, and continues to learn as much as she can about artist management. 

       When Sarah is not playing shows, rehearsing, writing and studying, she is usually found running around the city training for her next ultramarathon. Some of her favorite races have included the 75 mile Silver Moon Race in Reedley CA, and Kaniksu 50.
