I can't believe it's been this long since I've blogged! Lots of things have changed and lots have stayed the same. I recently started to play the guitar again. I picked it up while I was visiting my brother in Dallas and man, I've really missed the creative inspiration it can bring me. I've been writing more frequently this past month because summer is here and all these exciting, crazy things are happening to me. I'm learning that I need to let go if I really want to experience something, because my best songs come from experience, that's my favorite way to write. Music wise I've been keeping busy! I am with a wonderful team called - Consonant Music. I have a wonderful new friend, Andie Lynne, a music industry professional, in my life who keeps me grounded and helps me make the right decisions but also believes in me! On a live music note, I've been playing on Broadway, downtown Nashville on the weekends. It's teaching me to communicate with people from all over the place! (And drunkerds ;)) but my absolute favorite was the Blues Fest I played last week at a cool new hipster bar in Midtown. I had a trumpet player perform with me, and OO man! I feel like that's where my music belongs. I'm really starting to get into a blues/jazz feel lately. I hope it makes your heart as happy as its making mine when you hear my new sound. I think I finally found my niche! Here is the article that Nashville Music Guide did on me for that show (click on May issue I'm on page 14) - Also for some new news, I get to play during CMA fest this year!! I did background vocals on my friend Stephen Cochran's latest album and he invited me to play June 9th downtown! I can't wait :) I also just got in contact with a Talent Agency that's interested in working with me, which I am more than ecstatic about, because acting has been a passion of mine since I was in my first musical In high school. I also took theater classes in college so I feel confident this will be a pretty amazing journey for me. Ill defiantly keep you updated on how everything pans out. My birthday is in 2 weeks.and I can't wait to go spend some time in Michigan with my friends and family. I also can't wait for some of the opportunities that are coming my way this summer. I want to thank everyone who's believed in me and my music, as soon as I get my new sound in a great song, fully produced. You'll be the first to know! ;)
