Sarah Simmons

Name: Sarah Simmons The Voice Season: 2013 Season 4 Age: 22 Hometown: Memphis, Tenn. Audition Song: “One of Us” by Joan Osborne Coaches Who Turned: All Coach She Picked: Adam This singer-songwriter from Memphis, Tenn. will go down in Voice history as having one of the most raved about blind auditions to date. But long before she hit The Voice stage, Sarah’s been singing and performing. According to her Facebook page, Sarah’s been traveling and performing since age 13 when she went cross-country with a theater troupe. At age 15 she got her first guitar and started writing songs. And though she was born and raised in Birmingham, Ala., she considers Memphis, Tenn. to be her home after studying at Visible Music College. Unfortunately, things haven't always been easy for Sarah. Her father was addicted to drugs and absent from much of her life as a kid. But the good news is he's been sober for several years and they're no longer estranged. In fact, he's one of her biggest fans. And now she can use that experience to help pepper her performances with real and raw emotion. Read more on Last.fm.
