Sarah and the Safe Word is a cabaret rock band from Atlanta. Since their formation in 2015, the band has carved out a niche with their infectious energy, boundary-pushing creativity, and unapologetically queer ethos. From the start, Sarah and the Safe Word have made waves – catching the attention of music lovers and industry leaders alike. In 2017, Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman personally invited them to join the legendary tour’s lineup, cementing their place as one of the most exciting new acts in alternative music. Their cameo on the CW's The Originals — where they performed during a queer werewolf-witch wedding — showcased their theatrical flair to a wider audience. Their album “Red Hot and Holy” was praised by Alternative Press as a “contender for Debut of the Year.” Sarah and the Safe Word have since embarked on numerous national and international tours, leaving a trail of sated audiences in their wake. In 2019, the band signed with Take This To Heart Records, who described them as “a band that exists in two worlds, each a century apart.” Their sound and aesthetic seamlessly bridge these worlds: one is the smoky, velvet-lined speakeasy of a bygone era, where tales of swashbucklers, femme fatales, and racing demons play out over lush cabaret-inspired instrumentation. The other is the raw, sweat-drenched underground of modern punk shows, where a collectivist spirit reigns supreme, and every show is a celebration of liberation, self-expression, and community without borders. Sarah and the Safe Word’s live performances are as much a spectacle as a concert, weaving bold narratives and theatrical flourishes into their punk-meets-cabaret sound. The band’s message is one of radical inclusion, embracing their fans as a family of outsiders, dreamers, and storytellers. In a world where authenticity is currency, Sarah and the Safe Word aspire to be rich beyond measure, offering a space where everyone can feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
