Sarah Jayne Riley – known to fans as SJ – brings raw emotion and radical optimism to indie-pop, blending vivid storytelling with bold authenticity. Her music explores resilience, transformation, and the power of speaking your truth, all delivered with a voice that balances strength and vulnerability. After stepping away from a corporate career, SJ was able to embrace her calling – becoming an award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her lyrics challenge societal expectations and explore the experience of living as a feminine person in masculine spaces. Through her Comeback Kid Movement, SJ encourages others to embrace their struggles, own their stories, and turn pain into power.

Celebrate strength and resilience with Sarah Jayne Riley at CNE Wine Garden on August 28th and August 29th from 4 pm to 7 pm.
