NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country recording artist and singer-songwriter Sarah Harralson is set to release her new self-penned EP, Just The Beginning, [pre-save/pre-add] with a companion short film, due out everywhere on Friday, May 15 by ©®Synapse Publishing & Entertainment, LLC. The ambitious project comes 12 years into the young recording artist’s music career as she takes an autobiographical approach on both the music and film project, giving fans a very personal look into her life as a songwriter and traveling troubadour.
“This EP and short film is a collection of songs that I have written over the past few years about some really deeply personal stuff that I went through in my early childhood,” Harralson said. “It’s different from my past releases because this is more about childhood and family, as opposed to breakups and love songs.”
On her new single “It Can’t Rain All The Time” – described as “…a moving, soul-tinged track…” by Nashville.com – inspiration for the song came from a famous line in the nostalgic 90’s era film, The Crow. Harralson also reflects on the loss of her mother in 2024, highlighted in the song’s official music video on YouTube [@SarahHarralson] that was Produced/Directed by Dante Nazzaro, on behalf of Synapse Spotlight Productions, LLC.
Sarah co-produced Just The Beginning with Dale Penner (Nickelback, Loverboy) at The Owl in Nashville. The EP features the musicianship of renowned session players Cole Edmonson (Tigirlily Gold) on guitar, David Santos on bass, Bryn Scott-Grimes (Goldpine) on harmonica, Merna Lewis on fiddle, Paul Ray on piano, and Sarah’s husband Andrew Kugler on drums. Harralson also performed the organ, acoustic guitar, and harmonies on the EP.
“You also see this in the short film when I go back to Birmingham and Knoxville, where I’m from,” she continued. “I hope people can relate to that. I titled it Just the Beginning, because even though this is a big part of my life, my childhood, it doesn’t necessarily define all of me. There’s so much more to come!”
