Sarah Potenza is an incredibly dynamic figure in the music world, blending her powerful vocals with deeply personal songwriting that champions themes of self-worth, empowerment, and perseverance. Known for her bold, brassy voice and Italian-American roots, Potenza first gained widespread attention through her appearance on The Voice and as the frontwoman of Sarah and the Tall Boys. Her debut solo album Monster in 2016 earned critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone comparing her vocal prowess in the blues genre to Adele’s impact on pop.

Her 2019 album Road to Rome further cements her evolution as an artist, weaving together modern sounds with old-school blues influences. Produced by Jordan Brooke Hamlin and featuring a predominantly female lineup of collaborators, the album reflects Potenza’s own journey and the struggles faced by women in the male-dominated music industry. It’s a testament to her confidence and independence as both a songwriter and businesswoman. Road to Rome is more than just an album; it’s a statement of creative integrity and resilience.
