NEW SONG ALERT! (Link in bio) Sins of the Father

NEW SONG ALERT! (Link in bio)

Sins of the Father is written from the point of view of someone who has followed in their father's footsteps and been unfaithful in their marriage. I was never on this side of the story. Infidelity has caused so much suffering in my life, and it was quite an experience to write this song and try to get inside the head of this narrator. I think the result was pretty special. My co-writer is the wonderful @KennyFosterMusic and this is the first song we ever wrote together. Brian Irwin produced it so beautifully at Monster Studios in East Nashville.
If you like this song and it impacts you, please leave a comment, subscribe, and hit like. That helps me to build my channel and my career as an indie musician. Much appreciated!

It's also available on Spotify, iTunes and all your favorite streaming platforms. ❤ FUN FACT: This song was chosen as a finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition for Merle Fest 2020. Because of Covid-19, Merle Fest 2020 was canceled and I am booked to perform it for Merle Fest 2021. (Link in bio to hear the song)

Big News!!! A brand new single is available on all

Living a masked life is so bizarre in these Covid

Living a masked life is so bizarre in these Covid times, but the silver lining is that the quarantine inspired me to set things up to do online concerts for you guys! Thank you so much to all who watched on Tuesday night! Your comments, tips, and CD purchases are encouraging and sustaining me so much these days!
Big news.... After the show, Facebook sent me a message saying that I was flagged for copyright infringement and certain songs were muted! I wrote every song I sang and own the masters to the tracks, but contacting fb to fix the error has been challenging. SO when I do my next show who knows what will happen?! Stay tuned! Stay safe! ❤

I just ran across this photo from 2007 when I was the opening act for Josh Turner at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon. It's a stunning venue, huge outdoor amphitheater, and I sang my first country record. After I played, I went to the merch table and was shocked to see a line of a least a hundred people winding all the way up the hill. I sold out of CDs immediately and that was a big moment for my confidence with my country music songwriting. Those new songs resonated with the fans. It was a magical evening! #joshturner #brittfestival #brittfest #brittfest2007

GOOD NEWS FIRST: I was selected as a finalist for

GOOD NEWS FIRST: I was selected as a finalist for the Chris Austin songwriting contest at Merlefest 2020! It's a huge honor to be one of the 3 country songs chosen for the finals! The song is "Sins of the Father" and I wrote it with @kennyfostermusic. I will be releasing that as a single in the next few weeks so click the link in bio to get on my email list. The lineup for Merlefest is basically all of my musical favs! See attached photos... AND NOW THE BAD NEWS: Merlefest is canceled! I'm officially booked to play there in April of 2021 and still feel very honored to be a new member of the Merlefest family!

The ramp up to my June 26th record release has been as rocky as the hard times I wrote about on the record BUT getting this sort of recognition means the world to me! Stay safe y'all!

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.

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.
