Nashville country artist SJ McDonald and her band take the stage at the Fremont County Fair! Bring a chair & blanket. $15 at the door
SJ McDonald is an Appalachian-raised cowgirl whose music fuses the nostalgia of 90’s
country and raw, contemporary storytelling.
Hailing from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, SJ developed her tenacity and dedication working on her family’s 5-generation cattle and turkey farm. Her love for authentic country music grew through the static of a farm-truck radio, and by the age of 9, she was already penning songs, eventually leading her own band through high school.
At just 18, SJ hit the vibrant streets of Nashville, where she spent six years performing for tips on Lower Broadway. During this time, she fully immersed herself in the city's dynamic music scene, honing a high-energy, infectious performance style that truly reflects her personality and her strong yet soaring vocals. In 2024, SJ embarked on a self-booked coast-to-coast tour, sharing her down-home sound with audiences nationwide, and even found time to perform all the way in Paris, France & London, England.
In addition to her touring, SJ is the winner of the 2025 Nashville’s Next Rising Star competition and performed the National Anthem at Championship Night of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV this past December. SJ has also made her mark as a songwriter, securing label cuts with artists like Mackenzie Carpenter, Mae Estes and Caylee Hammack.
SJ McDonald isn’t just a performer; she's a musical powerhouse whose broken-in boots and unyielding spirit light up every stage she steps onto. As she takes on rodeo and dive bar crowds across the country, her captivating blend of grit and grace promises to keep the heart of country music beating strong.
