Sarah M. Greer is a Minneapolis-based jazz vocalist and composer known for her song inventions, scat singing and improvising. She began singing and performing in the Twin Cities in 1996 with an a cappella women’s ensemble. In 2003, she encountered vocal improvisation through a workshop with Rhiannon (a member of Bobby McFerrin’s Voicestra,) and the rest, as they say, is history. Eight months after attending a week-long improv master class in 2006, Greer quit her her day job in publishing to pursue music full time. Praised by other musicians for her sense of time and ability to swing, audiences appreciate her beautiful, expressive vocals, inventive scat singing and refined use of improvisation. In 2017, Greer received an Artist Initiative Award from the Minnesota State Arts Board to complete a solo album of original jazz compositions. Tasked with writing and recording an original album in a year, Greer wrote a collection of songs about her love for family and friends, about expressing—and being—one’s true self, and about living as a woman of color. "What the Music Says Do" is her debut solo album.
