Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis combine harmony-rich hooks and raw, guitar-driven sound to create Striking Matches. Blending rock, blues, and Americana with modern edge and soulful storytelling, the spellbinding Nashville duo has carved out a space where grit meets groove.After breaking out with multiple songs featured on the hit show Nashville, Striking Matches toured extensively across the US, UK, and Europe, building a loyal grassroots following. They’ve shared stages with artists like Ashley Monroe, Sierra Hull, and Train, and their work has earned praise for its emotional firepower and dynamic live energy.
Now independent and fiercely self-driven, Striking Matches continues to grow their audience through unforgettable performances, international touring, and a deep connection with fans. With new music rolling out in 2025, the duo is ushering in their boldest and most authentic chapter yet.
