"Jayne is ready to go nationwide"
-The Album Network, LA
She's released 5 CDs. All have been met with excellent reviews.
"The regional press aptly salivates over each of her album releases... It's amazing that a major label hasn't sniffed this accessible, creative artist out yet."
-Cincinnati CityBeat
She's also known as a dynamic live performer "full of energy and passion, delivered with charm and more than a little wit."
"Jayne Sachs belted out sounds I haven't heard since Robert Plant clenched his fists and pulled out his primal calls from the gut of his youth seated in the 1970's! ...a VERY TALENTED 5 foot power packing punchy lady. Being an ex-singer, I was envious of her grunge style and smokey persona."
-Cups and Cauldrons
Jayne Sachs blasted onto the scene in the mid 90's. Since then she's continued to have tremendous amount of local and regional success including first place in WOXY's (97Xposure) tri-state competition, rotation play on that station and several other regional radio stations, numerous requests to open for national acts, performances at several high exposure events, songs on many CD compilations from around the country, invitations to showcase at several major music festivals, and wins at international songwriting competitions.
Sachs' connection to her loyal and ever growing fan base is obvious at live shows. A fan recently said:
"She presents simple, human truths in the language of poetry and with the depth of a novel".
Jayne is also a mother of two and is proud to juggle a music career and family life. She was recently asked to write about this challenge for the international Music Resource Group's newsletter put out by the same folks behind the infamous Musician's Atlas. She performs for such organizations as "Mamapalooza" and is proud to be a mom who rocks. She certainly realizes the sacrifices of this dual life, but has been said to "meet the challenge with guts and sophistication".
And with "guts", her song "Twisted Ballerina", winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for Pop, raises awareness regarding Child Sexual Abuse. It continues to travel around the globe opening eyes to this heinous crime and gaining much support in it's journey.
Besides songs getting recognized by some of the major songwriting contests, Sachs has plenty of material that could be a great fit for TV or film placement.
"There are also plenty of radio-ready Pop nuggets... begging to be used on some UPN/WB teen drama."
-Cincinnati CityBeat
Jayne continues to play live shows (full band & solo) in support of the project and is a veteran at doing live radio and television performances. She and her band are currently in the studio recording the 6th release!
