Sara Groves’ tenth album, Fireflies and Songs, finds her reteamed with noted producer Charlie Peacock to explore the universal issues of marriage, family, friendship and following Jesus in the midst of it all. In May 2009 they retreated to his Art House recording studio in Nashville to create the follow up to 2007’s Tell Me What You Know. The recording sessions took place just a month after Groves journeyed to Rwanda with the aid organization Food for the Hungry, and seeds of inspiration planted during that trip seeped into the new songs.
Her growing catalog of discs, which includes a Christmas album and a collection of kids’ tunes, showcases the insightful, introspective songwriting this musician, wife and mother of three has become known for. Her depth and wisdom seems to grow with each release, whether she’s singing about the joys of a lasting marriage or paying tribute to her grandmother with a new take on a traditional “working” song, Groves has a knack for celebrating the simple, everyday treasures found along life’s journey that most of us simply miss.
