  This summer kicked some major behind!  Highlights: 1.

The FESTS!   Kerrville Folk Fest, Falcon Ridge Folk Fest... and the VERY exciting Rocky Mountain Folk Fest (they sent me home as the grand prize winner with a …

 My life update: 1.   On Tuesday I'm headed to New York for a gig at the Living Room.  My college roomie, "Annabelle" (from my song) is coming with!  It'll be fun!!   2.  Wednesday morning I'm flying out of NY to go to Nashville.  Livingston Taylor invited me down to observe as he records with Alison Krauss's band:  Union Station.  These players are my idols....

YEEEHAWWW. I'm in Texas! This is my first time and I am loving it.  Earlier this year, I submitted to the Kerrville Folk Festival's 'New Folk Competition'.   Out of 800+ applicants, 32 artists are chosen to play for 3 judges and a LOT of music loving, friendly folkies. I am very honored to be amongst so many talented New Folk finalists.   Before the show, the staff stressed to the finalists that the crowd is "here to love you!". Well, that didn't calm my nerves! I thought …

 Hey y'all! (Yes... I'm from PA but I'm currently in Texas so the y'all thing is working at the moment!) :) The Berklee trip to DC was a total success!!

 Currently listening to: Deb Talan: "Two Points" I painted my nails before heading up to New Hampshire for a show at Tupelo Music Hall (opening for Colin Hay!) last night. Unfortunately, on the way there I realized I left one unpainted. With a few extra minutes I stopped at CVS and bought what I thought was a similar shade of pink nail polish. Unfortunately, it ended up being a very different shade of pink. So much for that. Well... me and my nine hot pink fingernails had a blast anyway. I …
