What can I expect at a live SJ show?
A high-energy strawberry blonde playing a beat up guitar, commanding the crowd's attention with nothing but soaring, homegrown vocals and a country song.
Full Band or Solo Acoustic?
With 12 years under her belt fronting her own band and harnessing a room with just an acoustic guitar, SJ McDonald is a seasoned performer who gives a high-quality show no matter the circumstances, playing over 100 shows a year. Her band is dialed in, having spent the summer of 2023 on a self-booked coast-to-coast tour, and can keep a crowd entertained for hours with originals, covers, and the inevitable moments of good-hearted tom-foolery.
