With a voice described as "smooth as melting chocolate," Sarah Politte breathes new life into the timeless classics of the Great American Songbook. A two-time All-State Jazz Vocalist rooted in the traditions of legends like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, she blends a modern charm with the professional precision and classic style of a seasoned jazz vocalist.
Sarah has performed alongside jazz greats Allen Vizzutti, Steve Weist, Chip McNeill, Lori Mechem and Wycliffe Gordon. She has recorded with the fabulous Marina Albero, Amina Scott, Bryant Watson, and Max Bronstein.
Specializing in the "Golden Age" of Broadway and Hollywood (1920s–1950s), her sets feature beloved standards such as "My Funny Valentine," "Someone to Watch Over Me," and "Misty." She also finds Brazilian jazz especially fun to perform. Known for impeccable pitch and a warm, smooth tone, she is gifted with an improvisational ability that honors the original melody while finding refreshing, vital expressions.
Drawing from the "Ladies of Song," including Julie London and June Christy, Sarah finds her inspiration also in the cool style of Chet Baker and “The Velvet Fog” Mel Torme, bringing "an established and genuine point of view" to romantic lyrics.

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, and later raised in South Phoenix, Arizona, Ronny Cash grew up immersed in a rich, creative household where music wasn’t just a hobby — it was the heartbeat of everyday life. From a young age, the sounds of instruments, vocals, and rhythms filled his home, thanks to his parents’ deep involvement in music. His father, a lifelong musician, played piano and other instruments, modeling dedication and self-taught discipline. Though his dad wouldn’t directly teach him piano — believing that true desire would drive Ronny to learn on his own — the young Ronny rose to the challenge and taught himself, absorbing techniques by watching and experimenting. His mother, a talented singer who performed backup for major acts like Jamie Foxx and Patti LaBelle when they came through town, added soulful vocals and professional insight to the family’s musical environment. With creative siblings who shared the same artistic drive, the Cash home became a nurturing incubator for talent.
Ronny’s connection to music started as early as childhood. He began creating songs and experimenting with sounds long before he had formal training. Music blended naturally with his other passions — visual arts, cinema, and animation. This multi-sensory approach shaped him into a true multidisciplinary artist. After High School, Ronny started as a street performer, playing and fighting for money.
Today, Ronny Cash is known for paving his own lane in the independent music scene. His intense, passionate performances — captured in raw, high-energy moments like the one in the photo — reflect the fire he brings to every track. Honed by years of performing dueling pianos, he knows exactly how to command a room and connect with any audience. With influences rooted in family tradition and a drive to merge sound with visuals, his story is one of authentic self-expression, overcoming obstacles, and turning childhood creativity into a full-fledged career.
