Sweet Sally will be performing at Cottonwood Restaurant's Fireplace Room from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm free of cover charge. Join us for a fun filled musical evening.

Formed in 2020, Sweet Sally has already been recognized for its vocal harmonies, accomplished instrumental skills and inventive arrangements. They play distinctive originals and covers from bluegrass, folk, jazz, and other styles. Band members Lucy Khadder and Sophia Sparks, now joined by Clare O’Grady, have been featured in several other bands, on studio albums, radio shows, and at major music festivals. You can find them on Instagram and YouTube at @sweetsallyband.

Lucy Khadder is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter. She is a YoungArts Award winner who has played both bluegrass and jazz at festivals and major music venues, including IBMA’s World of Bluegrass, High Sierra Music Festival, DelFest, and the Monterey Jazz Festival. She currently attends Oakland School for the Arts, where she studies jazz violin.

Sophia Sparks was drawn to the mandolin at the age of eight.  Within the year, she was tapped by Sierra Hull to join her on stage.  At age 11,  Birches Bend formed with friends Jasper Manning and Lucy Khadder, and she's been performing professionally ever since.  She's currently at Oakland School for the Arts, studying jazz mandolin.  

Clare O’Grady has taken to music since she was 7, starting on the piano. Since then, she’s played many different instruments including saxophone and percussion, then guitar and electric bass, and eventually upright bass in jazz and other improvisational music ensembles. She will graduate with the class of 2025 from Oakland School for the Arts and hopes to minor in jazz studies in college.
