Meet Sahara Smith - a stunning, young singer-songwriter who started performing at age 12, and first garnered national attention at age 15 when she placed second in a contest for young songwriters on A Prairie Home Companion. Now Sahara is poised for a breakout with Myth of the Heart, her new album of original songs shepherded by T Bone Burnett and producer Emile Kelman. The album features many of Burnett's first-call session players, including drummer Jay Bellerose, guitarist Marc Ribot, and bassist Dennis Crouch.
