Singer-songwriter Sera Cahoone is the daughter of a dynamite salesman who grew up in the Colorado Foothills. She played her first gig on drums in a Denver dive bar's open blues jam at age 12. A young adult, she moved to Seattle, where she played drums with the adored indie rock group, Carissa’s Weird, and later Band of Horses. She then went on to release four solo acoustic records, two with Sub Pop. In 2019, Cahoone received a Gold Record for her work with Band of Horses.

In June 2023, Cahoone opened for the Head and the Heart at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, taking her right back to where it all started.


Cahoone also has partnered with SMASH Seattle and Dave Matthews for the Songs of Hope Benefit. In 2021, she was featured in the book “Bring Music Home”. This book celebrates venues like The Tractor Tavern, Stubby's, Baby’s All Right, and The Fillmore with artists Alice Cooper, Dehd, Native Sun, The Black Angels and many more.


In addition to her work on drums and as a songwriter, Cahoone has a recognized production background.
