My name is Sally Jane Wilson, and I'm completely new to New England. I've lived all my life in So. Calif. and for the past 22 years in Western Oregon. I'm mostly a singer, but also a bass player who had to sell my bass about 2 years ago after some serious health and financial problems. Now I have a guitar and am an expert 'church lick' player. No picking tho. I ran out of money recently and have moved to Providence, RI to live with my mother (GAWD, hope it's temporary!) I'm definitely in Providence to stay. As soon as I can afford it, I'll be getting a new bass.

I have been in a number of bands, always playing bass and singing. Generally, I am most interested in bluegrass, but I was once in a working rockabilly band. Right now I'm just looking for ways to support myself and pay for a new bass. I've only been here for a week, so still unfamiliar with the local music scene, but hoping to pick up some casual solo gigs to help with that goal.

My daughter in law is a RISD alumnus and a talented jewelry designer who is affiliated with the Craftland shop in downtown Providence. I do some sewing and beadwork, and she has helped me to get accepted into the Craftland Christmas shop with my fabric purses.

Really hoping to get into the jam scene locally, as I have long been a jamming animal. I ran a jam in western Oregon for about 7 years and I'm good friends with Ken Cartwright; a luthier and music shop owner in Stayton, OR. Ken is originally from this area, but across the bay in Mass.

Hope to see and meet some of the locals soon.

Lez pick!
