If you’re visiting Windrake Farm in Fultonville, NY, and you’re looking for Sawyer Fredericks, it’s best to be very quiet and listen. You should be able to hear him singing, whether he’s bringing hay to the cows, collecting eggs, riding his quad, or playing Elder Scrolls Online. If his hands are free, he’s probably also strumming his guitar. Sawyer is a young singer and prolific songwriter, who learned his first guitar chords in the fall of 2010. Since then, he has written over three dozen complete songs, and countless “doodles,” as he calls them. Videos of his performances can be found on YouTube and on his Facebook page. In 2012, he recorded (and copyrighted!) his first demo CD with six of his original songs. And in June 2013, Sawyer released his first full-length album, Out My Window, with 15 original songs. In spring of 2015, coached by Pharrell Williams, Sawyer became the winner of Season 8 of NBC's The Voice. Sawyer released A Good Storm in 2016. Sawyer continues to tour the world. Sawyer strums and sings all over the globe.
