UNDER THE PEPPER TREE (2021)

Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"It’s a beautiful piece of work...whether you appreciate it as a nostalgic boomer or as someone with an enforced 8 p.m. bedtime." - Variety

“Beautiful…Sara Watkins has just made an album for children. And this adult loves it…I found such comfort in these songs, songs I hadn’t thought about or heard about in years.” - NPR’s All Songs Considered

"...an album of pure comfort food, capable of thawing out even the coldest, most cynical hearts...its ineffable beauty makes the album a fast favorite for a person of any age to unwind after a long day." - Paste Magazine

"Seeking material to create a world of imagination, Sara Watkins clearly used hers, turning to sources ranging from Stephen Foster to Willy Wonka to the Beatles. The enchanting result is Under the Pepper Tree, children's music for everyone." - The Associated Press

"...Watkins excels once again..." - American Songwriter

"...makes for irresistibly innocent fun." - Holler

"...the power of the players and their ability to transform classic material and not only revive it, but reimbue it with a sense of wonder, warmth and wisdom illustrates how talented Sara Watkins truly is." - For Folk's Sake
