Sally Jaye grew up in Georgia amongst a cast of family characters from carnies to hairdressers to cotton ginners. It’s the details mixed with humor and heartbreak in her storytelling that have garnered comparisons to southern gothic writer, Flannery O’Connor, with songs that have been recorded in the last two years by artists such as Grammy-nominated, hit songwriter, Brent Cobb and country artist/songwriter, Leah Blevins. Besides her critically acclaimed solo album, Amarillo, and her forthcoming album produced by Brent Cobb and recorded at the legendary Capricorn Studios in Macon, GA, she has also written and recorded albums with the psychedelic Appalachian duo, Pink Birds (formerly Ladies Gun), two live Gospel albums in a historic church in Newton, NC and an experimental punk trio, The Rodgers.

Her songs have been featured in multiple primetime network television shows and feature films, including co-writing the end credits song for If Only (starring Jennifer Love Hewitt) and tracked at Abbey Road with the London Symphony Orchestra. She also appeared in the indie film Too Late, acting and playing her songs alongside two-time Oscar nominated, Jon Hawkes. Some may also know her as a recurring character for two seasons in the CBS prime time television show, Christy, starring Tess Harper, Kellie Martin, and Tyne Daly where she was also featured singing with the legendary Judy Collins.

In 2025, Sally Jaye will release her new solo album and has been added as a Georgia College artist in residence in March, where she will commemorate the 100th birthday of Flannery O’Connor with a concert at Andalusia, O’Connor’s historic farm and home. Throughout her touring career she has shared the stage and/or collaborated with artists such as Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Allison Moorer, Civil Wars Shooter Jennings, Billie Joe Shaver, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Brian Wright, Brent Cobb and the Zac Brown Band.
