SARAH BETH TERRY
SONGWRITER • STORYTELLER • POWERHOUSE PERFORMER
Part Stevie Nicks, part Wynonna Judd, and a whole lot of Appalachian sass, Sarah Beth Terry is an award-winning singer-songwriter, powerhouse vocalist, and natural-born storyteller raised in Estill County, Kentucky.
Known as “The Queen Bee,” Sarah Beth has written songs for Craig Morgan, The Gaither Vocal Band, Gary Nichols, Jessie G, The Goodwin Brothers, and others—then stepped into her own spotlight with eight full-length studio albums released in less than 18 months.
Equal parts wordsmith, songbird, and stand-up comic, she brings raw truth, quick wit, and a mighty sting to every stage.
FROM THE PRESS
Excerpt from Devon O’Day: In the wilds of Kentucky was born a gifted extraordinary creature who never quite fit in. Drawing from classic poetry, mountain witchcraft, and Bible totin’ preachers, she writes songs with a depth and truth that challenge the listener to face their ugliest pain—to feel it, scream it, and make it known without shame. Her pen is a night vision camera to your soul. Sarah Beth is real. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Real. And after you have had real, nothing else will ever be enough. — Devon O’Day, author, hit songwriter, and radio personality
