New album out June 3!

About Me


I graduated from college with a journalism degree and did not become a journalist. Instead, I started working for my mother’s animal cremation company and playing music on the side. The job doesn’t sound glamorous, but it allowed me to take three weeks off in November 2006, so I could go on my first solo tour. I toured through cities all the way to Portland, OR, to Hollywood, and back home to Albuquerque. In March 2007, I released The Drive Away EP. It’s a raw, acoustic recording of six songs I was itching to get of my chest.
That summer, I decided to record a full-length album completely different than Drive Away. Knowing nothing about audio engineering, or having any money to go into a fancy studio, my plan was a little halted. In July 2007, I left work early and played a show at my favorite local coffee shop, The Blue Dragon, when a producer walked into my life.
John Hansen and I started recording My Life ‘til Now in August with big plans, and we exceeded our expectations. It probably would've been finished a lot sooner had we not started dating, or watching way too much Lost. But we did finish it and now the album will be released June 3. Fans should expect something much bigger from this album. With fully orchestrated string sections, two mandolin solos, and a touch of organ, this album has it all, (except for whistling and kazoo..they had to be cut).
John and I will be married in September.
My life 'til Now will be released June 3.
