There's nothin' like a blank sheet of paper, a guitar and a feeling that gets my heart racing. There's no better feeling than to open up and pour it all out, allowing the song to create itself... it is a true and genuine honor to get to be a part of the creation.
I began dreaming long before I ever picked up a guitar and started writing. I was twelve when that happened. With a shoebox full of money I had saved up for years... My Dad took me to the music shop and I bought the only guitar in the whole place that I could afford. I counted out the last $15 in change and walked out of there a different person. Proud.
I haven't stopped writing since. Some say it's out of control... I say... I've barely begun.
When I was 20, I decided I wanted to record an album... so off I went, with a back pack full of songs (literally) and my guitar. Nearly a year later, the album was complete. Such a learning experience for me and the power I felt... well, I thought I could do anything. I titled the CD Remember Me because I wanted people to do just that. I thought for sure that record was going to land me in Nashville and on every radio station across America. Then reality kicked me upside the head... a tough lesson learned there.
Shortly after that, I moved to Nashville... played anywhere and everywhere I could and eventually decided to record another Cd, so I went back to my stomping ground to record in Madison, Wisconsin. Just Me & My Guitar is a collection of my Nashville experiences. An acoustic album that I am still so proud of today. As accurate as the title, that's how I live my life. I returned to Nashville soon after the release of that CD... but moved out, yet again, a year later.
I've been on the move for a few years now, but have never stopped writing, singing or playing. I am working on a new album, titled You Aint Seen Nothin' Like This which will be released this summer (2005). I'm branching out, changing my style a bit and growing every step of the way. Nashville is never out of my mind and I will end up back there before long I'm sure. There are so many other great cities to see before I ever plant my roots too deep in any one spot. There's no sense in missing the journey... that's what I say... I've been here and there, there and here and back again... some say I left Nashville... I say, I took it with me (along with every other place I've stopped along the way).
I'm just a girl with a guitar and a backpack full of songs. I may never be famous, but I'll always keep playing music that I believe in. There's no changing that part of my soul. It's in me. It's why I continue to play music even when things are hard, money is tight and time is tickin' away. I'm a lucky girl, selling Cd's out of my pick up, playing songs for people that want to listen. Life is good... damn good. I couldn't ask for more...
