Edit history

Sadie has built a lifestyle around her work melding the entertainment and tourism industries. From choreographing and performing in high school productions and Rock Eisteddfods in Perth, she started to explore other avenues of entertainment further afield. Her work provided her the foundation to become employed in a variety of resorts from the NSW snowfields and up the coast to Queensland's tropical islands. From 1995 Sadie collaborated with well known pianist and composer Michael Joseph Kenny (of Crossfire and Supermarket fame.) They struck up an immediate rapport and soon Sadie was singing centre stage backed by one of Australia's finest Jazz trio's on stunning Brampton Island. Port Douglas became her next port of call where she sang in candlelit rainforests and alfresco bars for eight years. Mick Kenny continued to accompany her and became her comrade and mentor. For many years local icon Graeme Spark (Sparksy) and Sadie entertained at restaurants, clubs, weddings and functions

Brisbane duo Sadie & Jay perform beautifully crafted modern folk songs coupled with exceptional vocals, intricate finger style guitar, bouzouki and double bass. With roots in the Anglo-Celtic tradition, their music is tinged with blues, roots and occasional theatrics! To date they have released three independent studio albums, Curious (2015), Rogue Folk (2017) & A Passing of Seasons (2019). Songs from all three albums have received national and international recognition. Their third release, 'A Passing of Seasons,' the second album to be produced by acclaimed guitar virtuoso Michael Fix, is a work of Australian contemporary art, an album bursting with colour, texture and spirited characters. Two songs from the album have been placed 4th (Verandah) & 5th (Leaving the Harbour) in the Folk/Acoustics Top 10 of the 2019 Australian Songwriters Association Awards. A third, (Dust to Ashes) made it into the Top 30. Sadie & Jay's music is getting airplay throughout Australia and their latest
