Originally from the Baltimore area, Beck grew up performing with her family in the mid-Atlantic region and has been making music throughout the Southeast since relocating to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University in 1997.

The material is a departure from her debut EP (Sara Beck, ©2000, also available on cdbaby); the album showcases a maturing writer delving into brighter, more melodic territory while retaining a keen eye for the world around her. Producer Eric Fritsch contributes a rich landscape for Beck's colorful lyrics and captivating vocals. Evident on both Open Window and 2000's Sara Beck is an intensity that has been grabbing the attention of Nashville fans for two years. Beck's vocal style alternates between a sultry smoothness similar to that of contemporary jazz vocalist, Diana Krall, and a soaring clarity reminiscent of Alison Krauss. Always, Beck sings with a subtle expressiveness, approaching slow tunes and rockers alike with a combination of control and abandon.
