Influences: My gospel singing family of 6 girls and my wonderful, godly mom and dad. We've been singing together since I was knee high. Also, my duet partner in Nashville who is my baby sister Sally. She has been my musical twin and our voices enhance one anothers. Gina, my friend and co-singer at church, Karen Wheaton, Christ for the Nations, Jason Upton, 70's, 80's and 90's rock. I love Anita Baker! Shannon Knight ( that boy can sing and make you cry everytime!) My son Zac, who has an incredible voice that is truly a hidden gem. My daughter Kaci who's voice is so unique that she sounds like Cindy Lauper without even trying to! Man, I wish she loved the stage more. My cousin Jonathan, my cousin Calvin, Russ Rosser, an absolute musical genius. Loretta Lynn ( I love her profoundly corny songwriting that is somehow so relevant to real life of the underdogs.) Jewel, because man, what a voice she has going up and down and making it all blend so well, not to mention her incredible songwriting. Shania Twain whom I consider a one of a kind. Don Henley and Bob Segar are two of the best songwriters I've ever heard. Watch out for my nephew, Chase, he definitely has the whole package to be a superstar. I absolutely love Sara McGlaughlin's voice and songwriting. Madonna's creativity, whether I agree with her or not, I must admit she's had an influence on my life at one time, but not now. Kurt Cobain defies everything I stand for yet I'm so drawn to everything about his creativity and how he can take total crap and make an incredible song that is so alluring. Johnny Cash was definitly another one of a kind that brought so much rich and refreshing music to my era. Keith Sweat and Kirk Franklin are awesome. Al Green's music has been a source of "laid back groove" to my life. U2's music has affected my life in a powerful way. G & R rocked my socks off! Tommy Barnes and Gene Simmons ,whom I know and knew (RIP Gene) personally, has and had a great influence on my life. Chris Tomlin is absolutely awesome! He seems so humble and true to the gospel of Christ. Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban have been a refreshing influence to me and the Country Music Industry as a whole. Reba McEntire, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood's music played a role in my songwriting. The Judds were my ultimate influence in music, Wynonna especially. Judy Jacobs is a powerful singer whom I pattern my voice after quite a bit. Rita Spriger is great. I could keep writing for hours but there are many many more that I could think of if I kept on.

Sounds Like: Sally and I at a period of our lives when we went from one bad relationship to another. It made for some great country music writing
