Sara Beth Go is a Nashville-based songwriter and mental health therapist writing feel-your-feelings folk-pop with wit, warmth, and unnerving emotional insight. With the panoramic perspective that comes from making it to your forties alive (no small feat), her songs carry the healing magic of a “therapeutic songwriter’s pen,” weaving together catchy hooks with unflinching honesty. This approach is heard in “Hurt People,” recorded and released by Tim McGraw in 2023.

Sara Beth’s songs wander through jungle romances, psych meds, and the occasional marital argument involving flying Doritos, before landing somewhere unexpectedly tender and universal - exploring the beautifully chaotic, unpredictable nature of being human. Her goal is simple but ambitious: normalize the mess to connect in a deeply disconnected world.

Sara Beth is a 2025 Kerrville New Folk winner, a 2024 Kerrville New Folk finalist, and a top five finalist in the 2025 Rocky Mountain Songwriting Contest, with the Telluride Troubadour 2026 contest up next. Drawing from her colorful upbringing in New Orleans, she began creating stop-motion animations in 2022 to accompany her music. The result is a live show that feels less like a performance and more like an experience - something akin to a really good therapy session.

When she’s not writing songs or crafting tiny animated worlds, Sara Beth spends her weekdays working as a mental health therapist in Nashville, where she lives with her husband, fellow artist Nathan K., and their two cats, Charlie and Pepper. All three members of her small family remain lovingly and stubbornly indifferent to her success.
