Since her debut on Nettwerk Records, LA-based folk songstress Sara Melson continues to soothe and uplift with her timeless dream-folk and introspective songwriting. Called “immersive” by PopMatters and “silky and laid back” by Magnet Magazine, Sara’s blend of Americana, folk-pop, and alt-country now enters the realm of psychedelic indie-folk with new single “Your Sweet Love,” her hypnotic rendition of the Lee Hazlewood song, due out July 25. The song, which has already received early support from KCRW, will be featured on her upcoming full-length album Elixir, coming in late 2025.

Sara’s music has been critically praised by Huffington Post, Magnet, PopMatters, American Songwriter, Blackbook, Variety, Yahoo Music, Wide Open Country, Glide Magazine, USA Today, Music Connection, and LAWeekly, and has been featured on iHeartRadio, KCSN, KCRW, American Airlines, and the Apple iTunes homepage. Her songs have appeared widely in film and television, including on Grey’s Anatomy and in a national Chevy campaign for the Winter Olympics. She has shared the stage with Moby, Ben Folds, Juliana Hatfield, Silversun Pickups, Lissie, Ben Lee, Mojave 3, Neil Halstead, Marc Broussard, and many others, singing backing vocals on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic with Mojave 3 and the Dandy Warhols. Along with Jim James, Dawes, Noa Cyrus, and Margaret Cho, Sara performed for Sweet Relief’s Musicians for Fire Relief benefit concert presented by SoCal Sound / 88.5FM.

A Harvard graduate and former professional ballerina, Sara is a member of the Recording Academy and has released three full-length albums, three EPs, and numerous singles, including “Wound Too Tight”, a collaboration with Rami Jaffee of the Foo Fighters. Four of Sara's songs were selected alongside the greats of musical history to be included in the Arch Mission Foundation's Lunar Library, which landed a catalog of musical works on the moon’s surface aboard the spacecraft Odysseus in 2024 ia SpaceX and Intuitive Machines. She is a recipient of the “Language of the Cosmos” artist grant sponsored by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angeles in conjunction with NASA/JPL, for which she created a space-themed performance piece for her song, “Underneath a Big Full Moon", from her upcoming new album.

Prior, as an actor, Sara guest-starred in numerous teen roles on classic television shows, including Frasier, The Wonder Years, and Beverly Hills, 90210. She is an accomplished yogi, an environmental and social advocate, and a volunteer for non-profit Art of Elysium, bringing music to seniors and children in under-served communities. Her upcoming dream-folk album, Elixir, will be released in late 2025.
