This is what totally blows me away about what we at Music Fog get to do. It was an impromptu meeting during Folk Alliance with Mike Meadows, a trusted source, and he asked if we had room during SXSW. I said yes, and he proceeded to tell me this amazing story about an artist I had never even heard of, Sahara Smith. Mike said she was being managed by Kevin Wommack, with whom I have had a long association as he also manages Los Lonely Boys, and that T Bone Burnett had produced her forthcoming CD. That will hit the street this fall, but in the meantime, Sahara Smith is busy building buzz here in Austin and beyond. It is time to embrace young artists who can weave a spell, create a mood and captivate. It's one of the things we like to do most: introduce you to someone who brings something special. Sahara Smith.
