Sara Groves was born in Vineland, NJ, grew up in Springfield, MO, but considers Minneapolis her hometown today. She has played piano and violin since 4th grade and later saxophone, because in the 80s all the cool solos were sax solos. She admires her parents and says they were a huge influence on my music. With her mother s help, she wrote her first song at age five. Playing the piano and working out song ideas has always been like therapy for me.
Groves is married and has a son.
She is a 1994 graduate of Evangel University, Springfield, MO, and taught history and English at a public school in Minnesota until she became a full-time musician in 1998.
