Sarah Beth and Sarah King became acquainted at The Appalachian Brewing Company Open Mic Night in Harrisburg, PA. Both women were solo performers at the time, but enjoyed one another's music so much that they began sharing gigs. After a while, it made sense for the two to collaborate – thus creating Indian Summer Jars in 2006. Sarah Beth and Sarah King have become known for making a whole lot of sound come out of just two people. With Sarah Beth's smokey alto vibe coupled with Sarah King's flexible and soul-try soprano/alto variations, the vocals are sure to strike a chord with any listening ear. As a band, Indian Summer Jars' sound combines earthy, soulful harmonies and strong guitar work - reminiscent of the full, fiery sound of the Indigo Girls. The yin and yang of this duo is what has made them work so well together and continue to grow as time moves forward.

The band name, Indian Summer Jars, is inspired by the warmth and impulsivity that an unexpected turn in the weather can bring. Indian Summer Jars feel that during the Indian Summer people are more likely to be spontaneous, venturing outside of their comfort zone, breaking from routine, and opening themselves up to experiences that will shape and change their lives forever. The “Jars” part of their name is indicative of preserving memorable moments & experiences to share with others while inspiring them to create their own.

Their catalog of songs is incredible with over 250 titles to date. Their songs are diverse and driving, with harmonies that will melt your heart. They are driven by dynamic and percussive guitar rhythms, with lyrics of unusual originality and memorably distinct melodies to seal the deal.

But the goodness just doesn't stop there. Start to peel away the rind of the song content and you'll find way more than meets the wayfaring listener's ear. The songs are each strong entities of themselves, but all tie together a book that continues to be written every day: stories of great explorers, of wild whiskey bars, of falling in and out of love and lust, and the dangers of deserts in biblical times. It's all about release and forward motion, about accepting faults in ourselves and in each other, about redefining ourselves as we redefine each other.
