Sarah Darling not only gives you her heart she is heart, her warm personality simply glows. In Sarah's first Country Music City Promotions we discuss the new single, Vince Gill, The Opry, the new album, Carrie Underwood and what's next in her career.
Home To Me has become widely popular, did you expect it would do so well?
"Not at all, when I went into it I heard a song that connected with me, it felt like home. The reaction from people has gone over well. I'm so happy to bring my music to people who have that instant connection to".

How did you feel when Carrie tweeted about the song?
That was a moment I won't soon forget, it was really cool she did, for me she really meant what she said. I was on a wonderful high of excitement. When I see her I will definitely thank her for it.

Vince Gill introduced you on your live Grand Ole Opry debut, what was that like? Vince is this singer songwriter who takes command of the stage, for him to have introduced me the day I debuted at the Opry was magical, my grandfather is a huge Vince Gill fan and for him to be in the audience was a special moment for us both. Thank you for mentioning it, I will never forget this moment.

Your working on this new album in which Home To Me will be on, when can we expect a release date?
Right now I'm in the studio, the creative process of this album will be different from the last two albums. Working with Dan Huff who's worked with Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban has been great, when we first met we had this instant connection, it just fits right. We're looking towards a 2013 spring release.

 You recently performed Home To Me for the show the Bachelor, what was that like?
Well, I did a show in Whitefish, MT for an immensely popular show, I can't really say. I can say it will get out there to everyone soon.

Home To Me is this song that was so well written, I commend the songwriters for their writing it.
Thank you, Caitlyn Smith and Bobby Hamrick wrote a fantastic song and I'm happy to have record it.  
    
I can't  thank you enough for the interview Sarah, it was such a joy to talk with you today. Your so sweet and I couldn't be more proud of you and your growing success. This song has put you on the map. I'll sure be following you along the way. "Thank you Shellie, that is so nice of you to say, the hard work is well worth it", Sarah tells me in our first interview. With more to come in the near future. Darlings career is in full bloom and fans are along for the ride.
