bio
Sera Cahoone has been a fixture on the Seattle music scene since relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 1998. She played drums with slowcore legends Carissa’s Wierd until they split in 2003. Cahoone joined her CW alums in Band of Horses, playing on their certified Gold 2006 album Everything All the Time.
That same year, Sera Cahoone released a self-titled debut that established her as a singular songwriter and gifted guitarist. Cahoone signed with Sub Pop soon after, releasing 2008’s Only as the Day Is Long and 2012’s Deer Creek Canyon. She followed the Sub Pop run by self-releasing 2017’s rollicking and raucous From Where I Started.
In the 8 years following that album, Sera Cahoone experienced profound loss. She channeled the heartbreak into writing songs, playing shows, and developing her skills as a producer and drummer, producing three records for friends like Dean Johnson and Margo Cilker.
Sera Cahoone is currently putting the finishing touches on her new album, due out later this year from Sub Pop.

“Shaped by a gorgeous backing of guitar, piano, and Hammond organ, the rich-n-swaying ballad finds Cahoone singing with a well-worn smile flickering at the edges, a flash of light that balances the heavy-hearted nature of the lyrics…Cahoone's voice is full of tenderness, holding a sense of yearning that is palpable in the weight it carries.” - GoldFlakePaint
