LITTLE BEAR RECORDS
This Austin, Texas based record company was officially established in 2000, and has since grown dramatically. As an independent label, we pride ourselves on our eclectic group of extremely talented musicians. Our artists’ diverse styles, ranging from contemporary folk and Irish 'roots' to modern pop and Native American, all come together to create this amazing amalgamation of truly creative and beautiful works.
THE ARTISTS
SARAH PIERCE: Sarah has been developing and perfecting her voice and music since she was a young girl growing up on cattle ranches from Colorado to Texas. Though her roots are country, her musical style has since evolved into a mixture of contemporary folk, rock, jazz, and blues. Sarah has a very strong sense of her music and her career, which absolutely shows through in her various recorded works (shown below) and powerful live shows.
“Sarah Pierce has a most impressive instrument, as they say.
Potent of force and certainly no stranger to nuance.” -Los Angeles Times

Love’s The Only Way
Sarah’s newest album will be released in March, 2004. This record is Sarah’s finest work to date. Though it does have elements of the “contemporary folk” style present in her previous work, this new album also blends a heavier pop/rock flavor with elegant blues and jazz undertones, and, as always, Sarah’s undeniable voice. click for reviews! |

Birdman
Released in 2000, this is Sarah’s third cd, following “West Texas Wind” and “No Place Like Home.” Upbeat, percussive pop songs, beautiful ballads, and crisp harmonies make “Birdman” a delight from beginning to end. |

The Buttercup Princess
Released in 2000, this is Sarah’s first, but not last, children's record. This “sleepy time record” is a wonderful collection of whimsical children's songs that adults will also enjoy. Sarah donates her proceeds from this record to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Worldwide. |

No Place Like Home
Released on Little Bear Records in 1995, No Place Like Home was digitally re-mastered and subsequently re-released in 2000. Sarah’s follow-up album to the more country “West Texas Wind,” “No Place Like Home” does retain some of Sarah’s country roots. However, it also explores a side of Sarah’s voice and music that have become her signature style.
