Sally Fingerett's Bio

Sally Fingerett is a multi talented pianist, guitarist, and composer, and one of the founding "Mothers" of that Fab Folkestra THE FOUR BITCHIN' BABES. With 5 solo recordings, 6 Bitchin' Babe group Cds, and participation in more than ten additional compilation projects, Sally is a veteran artist whose collection of musical work represents a lifetime commitment. From films scores and commercial music for Radio and Television to theme songs for group events, her passion for all things musical takes her from concert stages to recording studios around the country.

Born on Christmas Day and raised on the south side of Chicago, this "born gypsy" found her way down to Nashville in the late 1970’s, where she saddled up as lead singer for the Buffalo Gals, an all female bluegrass band. After years of touring with the likes of John Hartford and Bill Monroe, Sally chose to go back to touring solo.

It was during all this crazy traveling that Sally met and married Dan Green, a recording engineer/music producer living and working in Columbus, Ohio. They spent their early married life as a creative team at Amerisound, a music production company and recording studio. It was there they wrote and produced music for commercials (Wendy's, White Castle, Honda) and scored movies (The Second Degree) and cartoons (A Star for Jeremy-NBC). Together they would produce Sally's 5 solo CDs of all original music ENCLOSED CD (1982), UNRAVELED (1990), GHOST TOWN GIRL (1993), MY GOOD COMPANY (1998), her latest A WOMAN’S GOTTA DO HER THING (2004). In 1986 Dan and Sally's most treasured production appeared, a little girl, Elizabeth Julian.

In 1989, Sally rekindled an old friendship with folk goddess Christine Lavin, who invited Sally to join her onstage for a round of gigs with friends Megan McDonough and Patty Larkin. The four pals shared stages for a tour that included (in order) Chicago, Boulder, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and San Francisco. It was at the end of their next tour (NY, Boston, and DC) that the gals decided to tape their last night together. It was this live recording at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA, that became the girls first recording project, titled "Buy Me, Bring Me, Take Me, Don't Mess My Hair: Life According to Four Bitchin' Babes." In 1990 Sally entered and won that year's Kerrville Folk Festival "New Folk" Award, and shortly following, Sally's second recording project Unraveled was released, and her record company, Amerisound, re-issued her first recording "Enclosed" on CD from vinyl.

In 1994, on the heels of her third solo CD release "Ghost Town Girl," Sally's career came to a screeching halt, when she was stricken with a virus that left her with paralyzed vocal cords. After 11 months, it was Anat Baneil, Moishe Feldenkraus' only living disciple, that assisted Sally in the healing and recovering necessary to once again "find her voice."

With touring out of the question, Sally took to “just writing” and her song, "Home Is Where the Heart Is" found it’s way to her friends Peter, Paul and Mary, and their “Lifelines” CD as well as their PBS special.

From her performance at Carnegie Hall's Putamayo's Songwriter Festival, to being the musical guest on Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know (NPR), Sally was equally honored to join the National Touring Company of The Vagina Monologues for sold out shows at the Wexner Center for the Performing Arts at Ohio State University.

Whether it's composing music, recording CDs, or touring and performing as a solo artist or as a "Babe," Sally considers herself a lucky girl. She's a contemporary artist who participates in all of life's roles, sifts it all through a wacky view finder, and lets it fly.
