I am a finalist in this songwriting competition an

I am a finalist in this songwriting competition and it's apparently a big deal! My song, I'm Not Broken, is now being judged by Tanya Tucker, Tom Waits, and many other big shots. If I win I get 25k. How crazy would that be?! For now, you can vote for me for a separate award called People's Voice. The link is in my bio and it let's you hear the songs I'm up against. Out of over 18,000 entries, I am one of 16 finalists in the country category. Pretty honored! Go vote! (Link in bio)

Have you seen the video for "I'm Not Broken?" This

Have you seen the video for "I'm Not Broken?" This is a note from a new fan who heard that song... “Sarah Jane, I’ve listened to this song so many times. It lifts my spirits. I’m still hurt to the core and want revenge. But then I think of how it’s changed my whole family of his mine and ours. Just when will all the pain stop? It’s been a year now and still not divorced. I still love him with all my heart. But I won’t fall back. There are times I want to just get away and find a new me, but financially and health wise I can’t. I’m disabled and don’t get out much. I live in an apt. with my daughter and her son. They left with me when I left. We have been struggling a lot. Maybe one day I can find my way, but I’m 58 and not in good health. So it’s gotta be soon or I won’t ever find me. Thanks for your uplifting words in your songs. You’re doing great with your music. Keep on making those songs. You’re heaven sent in my book. I wish I could meet you one day. Stay strong to your happiness and faith. God Bless You”

As you can imagine, messages like this bring me to tears. It's moving to know that my music is touching people.

I am still planning to do my CD release show at The 5 Spot in East Nashville on Tuesday, March 17th from 6-8pm.

Please mark your calendar and stay tuned. If the show happens, it will be an amazing night to celebrate the resilience of our city and help a family with great need.

My friend @merpatterson just sent me this! It was 2000 and we were both making our Broadway debut in a play called "The Green Bird" directed by Julie Taymor. The Hollywood Reporter snapped our photo at the opening night party at The Russian Tea Room. What a magical time! #broadwaybabies #funmemories #friendsforever #russiantearoom #thegreenbird #actorwhosings #mamawhosings

Congrats to @amyspeace on this award!!! Amy is my mentor and friend. She wrote the bio for my new record and I cried when I read it. Her enthusiasm has been a huge motivator. She's the one who suggested I enter Kerville New Folk and the next thing I knew, I was a finalist. She also started a songwriting group here in East Nashville and that community has been very inspirational to me. She is a mom and a badass. I am very grateful for Amy and couldn't be happier to see her win this HUGE honor! Congrats, Amy! Thanks for your impact on my life and continuing to inspire me to dream big. ❤

Now go stream her record! It's fabulous!

@catherineashbymusic and I are sitting around the fire in our jammies, catching up! She is my dear friend from England and is staying with me while recording the second half of her new album here in Nashville. Good friends, good music, good life...

These two really special friends performed at the

These two really special friends performed at the 5 Spot last night and it was AMAZING! @indiarameymusic is a badass singer and writes songs that cut through the crap and say what needs to be said. Her upcoming album is going to be SO good!!! @sarahailimusic has a voice so buttery and gorgeous and the songs she's been writing with Radney Foster are stunning. @sallyjaye was also fantastic with her new band No. 1 Knife. Great songs and a great sound! To top it off, I got to have dinner with @thehawtthorns KP Hawthorne. I feel so blessed to have women in my life who are so full of kindness, talent, and are doing what they were put on this Earth to do. Look up all these incredible artists! East Nashville Women in Americana/Country Music are creating some incredible music these days!

So fun to hang with this lovely lady! She's a great singer, here to record some music. Welcome to Nashville, Jaclyn! Good luck on your new project! ❤

What a performance!!! Tanya Tucker was so much fun

What a performance!!! Tanya Tucker was so much fun, I didn't want the show to end! Her voice was fantastic and her personality is huge. You never know what she'll say onstage!
Special guest duets included Margo Price, Leann Womack, Jamey Johnson, Dennis Quaid, Johnny Rodriguez, Billy Joe Shaver and she even sang "Old Town Road" with Billy Ray Cyrus!
Women in country need to be seen and heard. The fact that this is Tanya's Ryman headlining debut is insanity. Everybody better get ready because women in country (of all ages) have something to say and are about to get the chance to say it. Now go win your first Grammy at age 61, Tanya!!!! @thetanyatucker
