Life

There she stood in for her sister, Jennifer Blackwood, who was pregnant. At first it was planned, that Jennifer should return to the band.[1] This never happened and so Sarah became a full band member. 2008 she published her debut album Way Back Home, and her first album Run For Your Life with The Creepshow. 2010 she followed with her solo album Wasting Time and They All Fall Down with her Band. 2012 she left The Creepshow and joined the, also Ontario based, Indie-Band Walk off the Earth. They gained international fame after they released a video, which was uploaded to YouTube. In the video Blackwood, together with Walk off the Earth, is covering the song Somebody That I Used to Know of the Australian singer Gotye.[2] 2013 she released the album R.E.V.O. with Walk off the Earth.

In 2013 she featured on the song "Lonesome Rider" from the Danish heavy metal band Volbeat's fifth album Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies.
