THE QUEEN BEE OF APPALACHIAN COUNTRY

Part Stevie Nicks, part Wynonna Judd—and entirely her own—Sarah Beth Terry is an award-winning singer-songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, comedian, podcaster, and natural-born storyteller raised in Estill County, Kentucky. Known as “The Queen Bee,” she serves up Appalachian country with a shot of rock-and-roll soul, hard-won truth, razor-sharp humor, and enough sting to make sure you remember her.

Sarah Beth’s pen has traveled far beyond the holler. Her songs have been recorded by Craig Morgan, the Gaither Vocal Band, Gretchen Wilson, Jessie G, The Goodwin Brothers, Gary Nichols, and others. Her major cuts include Craig Morgan’s “Whiskey,” the Gaither Vocal Band’s “We Are All God’s Children,” Jessie G’s “Whatever This Is,” and The Goodwin Brothers’ “Bottom of the Holler” and “Don’t Need Cuttin’”—songs that have earned national bluegrass award recognition. In 2026, Gretchen Wilson added another high-profile cut to that list with the rowdy, unapologetic “Redneck Shit,” co-written by Sarah Beth, Wilson, Krista Marie Oswald, and Jacob Summers.

Then Sarah Beth stepped behind the microphone and unleashed a catalog all her own. In less than 18 months, she released eight full-length studio albums: Estill County Rain, Kentucky Tornado, Glass Houses, Old Whiskey, Bail Money, War Paint, Rebel, and Chapter VIII: Dead to Me. That remarkably prolific run revealed every side of her artistry—from mountain-born storytelling and bruised-heart ballads to country-rock fire and laugh-out-loud honesty. Recent singles “Devil’s Got My Tongue,” “Can’t Get Enough,” “Left,” and “Like Charlie” prove that the Queen Bee still has plenty left to say, while the upcoming live “Send Me” video project opens the door to her next chapter.

Music, however, is only one part of Sarah Beth’s world. As the creator and host of the Cigarette Mom Podcast, she turns small-town chaos, current events, music-industry madness, and everyday bad decisions into wildly unfiltered Southern comedy. On the Feral Christian Podcast, she brings that same honesty to faith—trading polished answers for open Bibles, difficult questions, porch-side conversation, laughter, and grace. Together, the two shows reveal the full Sarah Beth Terry experience: hilarious and heartfelt, rowdy and reverent, deeply human and never rehearsed.

Onstage, Sarah Beth is equal parts powerhouse concert, songwriter’s circle, comedy show, and front-porch confession. Touring through Appalachia and across the country, she can command a festival crowd, captivate an intimate listening room, or make a private gathering feel like the only place in the world worth being. She is available for festivals, venues, songwriter rounds, retreats, weddings, private events, house concerts, and podcast appearances nationwide.

And the story doesn’t end when the show is over. Fans can take a piece of the Queen Bee experience home through Sarah Beth’s official store, featuring signed albums, limited-edition handwritten lyrics, stage-worn originals, apparel, hats, collectibles, drinkware, and exclusive Cigarette Mom and Feral Christian merchandise.
