Sarah Shea has been dreaming about this day since she was a little girl. She remembers sitting in the cart and singing the letters S-A-F-E-W-A-Y in perfect pitch at the store while her mother shopped. As she got older, she’d harmonize to the lifts while skiing. Ever since she can remember, music was “in” her.
Now, after years of hard work, determination and more than a few bumps in the road, Shea, 34, will celebrate the release of her first album, “The Nearness of You,” during Wine on the Waterfront at The Landing Mall in Port Angeles at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, July 30. She invites all her friends, family and fans to join the fun. “I’m very excited about this CD,” Shea said. “I’ve wanted to make a CD for a number of years but it always just seemed out of reach.”
With the exception of the first song, “Fever,” all of the vocals were recorded in Sequim. “Fever” was completed in one take and left unedited. Shea describes the track as purposely “raw.” Accompanying Shea on the CD are Craig Buhler on the saxophone, clarinet or flute and Al Harris on the piano. Buhler and Harris joined forces with Shea in 2009 to form Chez Jazz, a local performing band.
