b. 20 November 1969, Reading, Berkshire, England. Jory’s musical talents were quickly recognized and as she loved her parents’ country records, she began playing steel guitar since the age of five. She appeared in a club the following year and this was followed by her television debut when she was eight. Her father became her manager and she joined Colorado Country. Her first album, however, Sarah’s Steel Line, was made with the Warrington band Poacher. She worked with Colorado Country for four years, followed by an assortment of gigs while she completed her schooling. She regularly went to the USA and appeared on steel guitar conventions. She made her first vocal tape, No Time At All, in 1986 and spent some time developing a new act around the pub circuit in Bristol. She formed a new, fully professional band, and in 1991 she opened for Eric Clapton in Dublin and undertook a nationwide tour with Glen Campbell. She plays banjo, mandolin, guitar and keyboards as well as steel guitar, but, now signed to Ritz, her main chance of stardom is as a vocalist. One 1994 single was an unremarkable revival of Jackie DeShannon’s ‘When You Walk In The Room’, which had also been recently revived by Pam Tillis. Jory was featured in a major UK television documentary about female country singers on the South Bank Show. Love With Attitude was recorded in Nashville with the songs and musicians of Music City, USA. She was awarded British Female Vocalist Of The Year in 1995, 1996, and 1997 by the British Country Music Association.
