Sally Barris is a Nashville songwriter who has had songs covered by such top-level artists as Kathy Mattea, Martina McBride and Lee Ann Womack.

The songster will play at Oak Center General Store in Lake City on Friday April 13.

Her song “Let The Wind Chase You,” recorded by Trisha Yearwood and Keith Urban, received a Grammy nomination for vocal collaboration in 2009.

Barris’ film credits include “Honey Suckle Sweet” from the Miramax film "An Unfinished Life" and “Liars Lie” featured in the Tim McGraw/ Gwyneth Paltrow film "Country Strong."

Reminiscent of Claire Lynch and Aoife O'Donovan, her current CD “Restless Soul” is a testament to her love for Celtic music, she said. Both Celtic and English folk music influences turn up in Barris' songwriting.

In the last two years, the Minnesota native has performed at Mountain Stage, New Bedford Summer Fest and Kerrville Folk Festival. She is also a member of the Waymores with Don Henry and Tom Kimmel.
