About Sara Swenson
Sara Swenson is a Kansas City-based singer-songwriter known for looking life square in the eye with her emotionally-resonant and lyrically-rich songs. With a voice that invites and disarms, she crafts music that feels both incredibly personal and universally understood.
Her recently released album, Taller (2026, produced by Greg LaFollette), is a masterclass in emotional range and narrative depth, where Sara continues toward and bravely expands beyond the complexities of love, loss and longing - and into the lifeline found in community, the hauntings of manipulative and preying characters of the past, and the freedom, hope, and regret we all both cling to and release.
Sara’s songs have been featured on ABC’s Private Practice, CW’s Reign, CBC’s Hello Goodbye, and in PBS’s 2023 national series Girl Unscripted. Her track “I Won’t Let You Feel Alone” is the centerpiece of Children’s Mercy Hospital’s 2023–2025 regional campaign. With several albums, EPs and singles to her name, she has twice been named Singer-Songwriter of the Year in Kansas City.
