Singer/Songwriter Sarah Donner plays Atlanta (Decatur)
Indie folk/pop musician Sarah Donner is on tour this summer, heading across the country from New Jersey to California, up to Canada, and then back across the US. Sarah will bring her strong vocals and unique songwriting to Decatur on August 10th, where she will be playing a show at Java Monkey at 8 pm.  The "Sarah Donner and the Sleepy Kitten" video and "The Motherf**cking Pterodactyl Song" which was co-written with The Oatmeal catapulted Sarah into weblebrity status with over a million views on YouTube alone. Her music has been featured on Conan O'Brien's blog, NPR, and CBS News. She is currently working on a new record with producer Owen Lewis, who has worked with artists such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Snow Patrol. While on tour Sarah will be promoting her DIY record, The Rogue Sessions, which consists of acoustic renditions from her previous four albums as well as some new songs.
