Its been awhile since I have written. I always have good intentions of keeping up with this blog but get caught up in the whirlwind that we call life!
Lots going on this fall! I released "I'll Remember You" a couple of weeks ago in memory of my dog, Jasmine who I lost on February 14th this past year. To have a listen go here This song will be on my full album release which will come out next year!
It has been a long road with getting this album together and I have had some delays due to some health and logistic challenges but am finally on the right track.(knock on wood....lol) I am working with a fantastic producer named Phil Henry who is also an extremely talented songwriter. I wanted to finish my album with Kristina Stykos in the offgrid studio in Chelsea, VT but was finding the commute to be too far and the roads to that studio are really a tough drive in the winter and mud season. I really enjoyed our work together but needed a studio closer to my home base. My connection with Phil came as a gift in the spring. He is 25 minutes away from my house! "I'll Remember You" was recorded there over the summer and we have laid down the tracks to one other song and I am sending him a rough sketch of the next one this week-end.
Did some live shows this summer/fall, performed at the town hall in Brandon, VT and played a pub/tavern in Rutland, VT and a Masquerade Gala for a local college that supports scholarships for low income students.
My facebook group "Innies Who Love Music and Stories" is growing and it has been wonderful to connect with people from all over the world! If you are an introvert or an empath and want to connect with like minded people then this could be your new home! To learn more go here.
