Jane Godfrey: Bio

St. Louis native, Jane Godfrey, has been singing and playing guitar most of her life. Coming from a large family of musicians and artists, Jane has always been creatively inclined. While in her insomniac phase around the turn of the century, Jane turned to songwriting as a creative outlet for her own amusement. Jane received validation early in her songwriting career when her song, “Thank You Ms Juliette”, a bluegrass tribute to Juliette Lowe, the founder of the Girl Scouts, was included in the Girl Scouts of the USA’s CD, “Sisters Hand in Hand”. Jane’s passion for songwriting grew, prompting road-trips to Nashville where her skills were nurtured by attending songwriting workshops and performing at writers’ showcases, including the infamous Bluebird Café. Before completing her own CD, another one of Jane’s songs, “Finally Loving Myself”, was chosen to be included on Nashville songwriter Gracie Vandiver’s recovery music CD, “Trail of Light”, which also includes such songwriting greats as Paul Williams and Mary Gauthier. Jane’s own debut CD, “Choose Beauty”, includes 12 songs, many of which are enhanced by a blend of sibling harmonies and musicianship. “Choose Beauty” is a collection of original Americana songs, grown from Jane’s imagination, experience, and observations of the drama, comedy, and beauty in everyday life.
