Sara Jelley flawlessly portrayed Mary Poppins in MauiOnStage's highest-ever grossing musical in 2016, and has vocally executed raucous Led Zeppelin songs in a massive arena.

'Holes' is an alternative folk melancholic acoustic ballad with a trombone arrangement, by Maui’s own Henry Arroyo, melted in. In Sara’s words: “This song expresses the feeling of trying to fill 'holes' within myself, i.e. trying to satisfy loneliness by being in a frustrating and unfulfilling long distance non-relationship. This song is a declaration that I don't need someone else to make me happy, but that I'm still vulnerable and human.”

Sara Jelley's debut original full-length album ‘Holes’ was recorded with David Stoller Whitney at The Root Cellar Studio in Kula, Maui. It is set to be released December 11, 2020. Listeners have said, “Wait a minute... there’s therapy in here!” about Sara’s honest, vulnerable and relatable lyrics focused on healing through self-acceptance. Sara's voice is emotive, powerful and soulful, and invokes a sense of respite and deep connection with sublime and unique skillful fingerpicked guitar and ukulele accompaniment.
