Nothing But The Silence

Striking Matches is Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis. Sarah, a Philadelphia native and Justin, from Atlanta, met when a professor at Belmont University in Nashville paired them at random to play for a classroom full of guitar majors. The pair has been writing and performing ever since.

Striking Matches' debut self-titled EP was produced by Luke Wooten (Dierks Bentley, Dustin Lynch) with all four tracks co-written by the band. The EP released October 2012 was named among iTunes "Best of 2012" and enabled the duo to score features with NPR and The Wall Street Journal. In December 2012, Striking Matches made their debut on the Grand Ole Opry where they have subsequently played more than twenty-five times. The duo has had nine songs featured on ABC's hit show "Nashville."

The band became the first artist signed to the newly launched I.R.S. Records Nashville with their debut full length effort 'Nothing But Silence' produced by T-Bone Burnett.
