Bio
Several people have told me that I have the heart and soul of a true storyteller. I'm flattered by that notion and like to think my songs are well grounded in traditional folk music with enough contemporary and unique elements to help keep them fresh.
I was born in Montgomery, AL; raised in Augusta, GA; graduated from the University of Georgia; moved to Atlanta and soon began performing as a solo artist. After a fairly successful year playing solo, I expanded my act and performed with bands for the next five years. During that time, I was honored with a nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year from the Atlanta Society of Entertainers; but was far more proud of the fact that I worked consistently and successfully as a "gigging musician" during that entire period. I put my "career" in music on hold in order to begin raising a family and to focus on my other creative endeavor, painting.
My passion for music was rekindled by a move to Northwest Georgia, where I began writing and performing again. People seem to like my music and have been responding favorably to my songs and performances at various clubs, house concerts, festivals, and Songwriter events. I am currently available for select bookings. If interested, you may contact me through this website.
I'm a member of Indiegrrls, the Songwriters Guild of America, and BMI . I am also honored to be included among the performers listed on the website of The World Folk Music Alliance.
A Special Thanks to Neil Young
I'd like to extend a very special thank you to Neil Young for including one of my songs "When Your Soldier Comes Back Home" on his website, where it reached #1 (for 10 weeks) and bounced around the top of his list of about 3000 songs on his "Living With War Today" page for over 2 1/2 years. (It can still be heard on his website and is currently available on my Music Store page as a FREE download.)
