Join Sara Milonovich & Daisycutter in celebrating the release of her new album Last Resort Motor Inn, and her only Capital District show before they head off on a UK tour!
A record about identity, persistence, and the common ground that brings us together, even when modern life threatens to pull us apart, Last Resort Motor Inn is the sound of a songwriter taking stock – not just of a changing America, but of a lifetime spent navigating its back roads, small-town communities, music scenes, and contradictions. Recorded alongside her band, Daisycutter, and longtime producer Greg Anderson, Last Resort Motor Inn unpacks those stories even further. She writes about gentrified mill towns losing their identities, farmers watching country culture become high-class fashion, resilient women surviving on the margins of society, and people searching for connection in fractured times. That resilience is the beating heart of Last Resort Motor Inn – a reminder that when you're a lifer, there's no such thing as throwing in the towel.
Raised on a working family farm in upstate New York, Milonovich grew up surrounded by bluegrass, folk, old-school country, and the earthy sounds of an agrarian area that still relied on agriculture. "This record reflects every version of me for the last 25 years, from the bluegrass fiddle player to the singer/songwriter to the rock experimentalist," says Milonovich, who's spent decades balancing her solo work with countless opportunities as a session player, instrumentalist, road warrior, and cultural ambassador. "It feels like a culmination of all the years of experience and musical adventures I’ve been on, through so many different genres and scenes. This is the first time I've just done exactly what I wanted, and stopped worrying about making everything make sense on paper."
Sara Milonovich has built her career across countless musical worlds: from Americana stages and tours to collaborations with folk and bluegrass royalty, as well as work on Broadway's Tony Award-winning Come From Away. With Last Resort Motor Inn, she funnels those worlds into a universe all her own.
