Sara Softich's interest in music began at an early age. She began playing piano at age seven and the violin at twelve. Fiddle tunes became her passion as a teenager and, influenced by her father's love of music, at 17 she played her first guitar chord. She began songwriting a few years later when she left Minnesota’s Iron Range. In 2004 she released Rusted and Bent, featuring alternative bluegrass songs inspired by her small town roots in northern Minnesota. She toured regionally, nationally, and internationally with Rusted and Bent, performing nearly 100 shows in 2005 at music festivals, theaters, listening rooms, colleges, and pubs. In fall 2005 Softich began recording Pipe Dream, a collection of piano songs she wrote. Her childhood upright piano inspired the recording. Pipe Dream was produced by Softich and engineered by Jason Wussow at their home studio on an old 8 channel board. The album is dedicated to Sara’s mother, who spent her last $600 on the piano for then 10-year-old Sara. Pipe Dream abandons the alternative bluegrass sound of  "Rusted and Bent", instead serving as its alter ego. Its volatile lineup of songs ranges from theatrical cabaret to patient, beautiful melodies.
