Documented collaborators
Formed in 2015 in Atlanta, Sarah and The Safe Word started as a bold two-piece collaboration between Sarah Rose (vocals) and Kienan Dietrich (guitar). The project quickly grew into a six-piece lineup, blending energetic melodies with dark, theatrical storytelling. They earned early attention with a string of powerful live shows and a debut album that set the stage for a wider national presence. The band has since carved out a unique space in the indie rock and alt-punk landscape, touring nationally and refining a sound that’s equal parts swagger and storytelling.
