Larimer Lounge Presents Rin with Sabrina Sterling on Wednesday, October 21st.
From writing love songs in her bedroom to posting lo-fi videos online, Rin embodies the spirit of the modern-day bedroom songwriter – a true digital native with a raw, heartfelt voice. A natural singer since childhood, Rin picked up the guitar during the pandemic, learning to play her favorite songs. That curiosity soon evolved into a desire to write her own.
Her first full-length project, fawn (2025), brings together ten songs that explore vulnerability, growth, and the search for confidence. The record carries the intimacy of her early demos while opening into a richer sound, balancing quiet reflections with moments of strength. At its heart, fawn is Rin learning to let herself be seen – turning private thoughts into songs that feel both personal and universal.
Sabrina Sterling:
Rising singer-songwriter Sabrina Sterling elevates her sound with her new EP, An American Crime, out now via Columbia Records. With amped up instrumentation and production, Sabrina pushes her creative boundaries sonically and collaborated with producers Mike Wise (Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan), Harry Charles (Stella Lefty, Dove Cameron), and Cooper Holzman (Mon Rovia, Medium Build, Sydney Ross Mitchell) to create the world of American crime. An allegory of the 2007 film, Sabrina uses synths, bolstering guitars, brash drums, and visual storytelling to deliver a dark punch, and asks the listener to question who is at fault – the narrator or the “victim”, as shown in songs like the title track and “Saint”.
Sabrina Sterling paints a picture of an imperfect family, a lack of justice, and taking matters into her own hands, as shown with songs like “Jukebox” and “Eventually”. The allure of the darkness is what brings listeners into this world and will intrigue fans who have been with her since TikTok or are just now discovering her.
A sonic shift away from her Ramona EP, Sabrina explores and processes a new side of her life and puts that perspective in her music. Deconstructing the image of what an all-American family might look like, Sabrina confronts her inner demons in songs like “Devil’s in My Living Room” and unapologetically owns her side of the story. Inspired by horror films like The Conjuring, Sabrina is unafraid of shame and is willing to sing, write, and produce even the most complex experiences with her fans.
