SARA HICKMAN FUN FACTS
She was raised in Houston, Tx , and launched her professional career
at age 14 at a Houston Oilers party with just her guitar and voice.
This led to performances at bank openings, psychiatric units and
weddings. She graduated from the High School for Performing Arts in Houston, and received a B of A in painting from the University of North Texas.
Her independently-released debut, Equal Scary People, was picked up in1989 by Elektra. This was followed in 1990 by the album Shortstop, which yielded the #3 adult contemporary hit "I Couldn't Help Myself."
Sara has twice been a guest of NBC's Tonight Show , hosted her own VH-1 special, and produced an independent video, Joy, which won first place in the USA Film Festival.
With the help of fans, she raised $50,000 and bought back her
third album, Necessary Angels, from Elektra. It was released on Discovery.
She has since released three discs on Shanachie: Misfits (a collection of
musical odds and ends from throughout her life and career), Two Kinds of Laughter (produced by Adrian Belew), and Spiritual Appliances, produced by Sara herself. Faithful Heart, her seventh album, was released in the spring of 2002 on Sleeveless, her own label, and has received airplay worldwide.
Through her recently self-released children's album Newborn, she has donated over $50,000 to the Hill Country Youth Ranch (which aids abused
and neglected children) and for the Mautner Project in Washington, DC (which helps lesbians with cancer.) She is extremely involved in many humanitarian issues and has served on the Board of Directors for the Mothers' Milk Bank/Austin, NARAS (the Grammies) and the advisory Board of Arts for People (Dallas). She has been honorary chair for the Humana Women in Health initiative, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden Party, Walk for Life and the 2001 Austin Race For the Cure, which raises monies for breast cancer research.
Her entire Spiritual Appliances booklet is dedicated to fighting the homeless problem, and she has visited Romania to work on behalf of the orphans. Last spring 2001, Sara released TODDLER, the follow up to NEWBORN, and spring 2003 she is currently at work on BIG KID.
With her husband, Lance, photographer Todd Wolfson and designer
Neil Ferguson, Sara started STINGRAY, a design group that produces
album covers, posters and other media related products for musicians.
Their clients have included Tish Hinojosa, Ian Moore, Christine Albert and Chris Gage, Tequila Mockingbird and many others.
Awards:

Awards for Children's Albums: Parents' Choice (Gold-Toddler/2001), NAPPA (Newborn-2001 ), Dr. Toy's 10 Ten Audio Tapes of 2001 (Toddler) and Dr. Toy's 100 Best Toys of 2001 (Toddler). From 2002 to the present, she has been the National Ambassador for Half Price Books, helping
to promote literacy throughout the United States by visiting hospitals and schools where she performs and reads to children.
But what she really wants you to know is she is a proud mom of two super girls, that she loves green chili cheese fries and does not like brussel sprouts. Her high score is a 197 in bowling, and her goal is to break 200.
