About Me

I want to keep this from sounding like so many other "cheesy girl singer biographies". So, I will just give you something about who I am. I grew up in Alabama, the youngest of three kids. My Father was a preacher and had a passion for playing the guitar and singing. He would take me to the little country music shows where anyone could bring a guitar and get up and sing. My Parents tell me that I first sang on stage at 3 years old...and I've been hooked ever since. Truth is, I don't ever remember NOT singing. That's probably why it's such a huge part of who I am. All I have ever wanted to do was perform in front of an audience. So I feel fortunate that I can make my living doing just that. I sing for a living, but if you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life. I have been fortunate to stay married to the same guy for 12 yrs (a great feature for a Musician!) Scott is my drummer and a wonderful Father to our 10year old daughter and 6 month old son! We all share in this life together and stay together on the road. It helps to keep what's really important the center focus. We travel full time with our group and we've been blessed with a talented bunch. We love what we do and strive to grow as musicians and writers. I don't take myself too seriously and I believe that laughter is the key to sanity! And there is a lot to laugh about. Especially on the road. I don't stick myself in any one musical style or category. Probably because I love any kind of music that evokes feeling. I grew up loving Country, Southern Rock and Contemporary music. Which means if you looked at the CD's in my car, right now, you would find Aerosmith, Bob Seger, John Mayer, Waylon Jennings, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Trisha Yearwood, Melissa Ethridge and Tammy Wynette's Greatest Hits. I don't think anyone can completely associate themselves with just one type of music. People, just like music, have many different sides and moods. So I just sing what I like. I write what I want to say and it comes out how I feel. I think that's what people really want. Just honest music that they can relate to. We all share the same types of emotions and hardships. And everybody is just looking to make a connection. Music does that for people. See you on the road!!!
