Sarah Walker

Sarah Walker is a Texas songwriter who writes like a poet who learned the two-step—lyric-first, conversational, quietly incisive, rooted in classic country storytelling per her own site (sarahwalkersings.com). Austin calendar heat centers the Summer Song Swap happy hours at Hole in the Wall: free early sets with guests like Ali Holder, the kind of Thursday 6–8 p.m. room where writers trade songs instead of business cards.

Instagram (@sarahwalkersings) posts the working map—Captain Quack’s, Shawnee Kilgore’s Wonder nights, June swaps live-streamed for whoever can’t make Guadalupe Street. On Apple Music the Bulldoze EP (2024) stacks “Nibbled My Nails to Nothing,” “Won’t Stop Now,” and “Moth Song”—sharp domestic detail, country pocket, no soft-focus Nashville gloss. Walker’s HITW residency model is pure Austin songwriter logistics: free doors, guest writers, songs tested while the sun’s still up.
