Sarah Blackwood: A hippie at heart

Sarah Blackwood of the mostly-male band Walk Off The Earth may hang with the guys but, as she says, “every once in awhile I’ll go have a girly moment -- you know, go have a shower cry.” It’s her sense of humor — and willingness to say whatever is on her mind — that makes her the band’s (and often the crew’s) style supervisor, the one who has the final say on their overall look. As for Sarah, a self-professed “hippie at heart,” she likes to mix patterns and styles, baggy tees and skimpy bandeau tops. We had a blast catching up with her at Lollapalooza and got the inside scoop on her musical inspiration and the two bargain stores of which she can’t get enough.
