I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name's Ceilidh/Kayleigh pick the spelling you like better, it sounds the same either way...
You know me from either working at Wall Street(the bar), running sound for the bands, going to Crater High together, or SOU/RCC/CRAS, maybe I've gone to a youth retreat with you or been your counselor, maybe you've seen my band play at some point, maybe we worked at Macy's or worked together on a cruise ship for Royal Caribbean... then again maybe you don't know me but wish you did ;)
I'm trying to break into the music scene on the west coast, after a spending so much time elsewhere - so any help anyone could give me regarding venues needing someone who knows what they're doing behind a sound board, or a band needing keys/guitar or even vox... or you want an engineer/producer... hell I'm well rounded ;)
Music /= Oxygen
End of story ;)
Facts:
I am insane.
I am a live sound reinforcement engineer
I want to record YOUR band. ;)
I'm a west coaster all the way! But I miss my friends from the dirty south and the desert and will probably find myself out in the Nash again because - well - there's quite a bit of honky-tonk in this girl ;)
Basically I am obsessed with music and sound, having adventures, and living life to it’s fullest. Don’t miss opportunities you think you’ll regret not taking. Try it all once. Stop being scared. If you think about all the what-ifs sooner or later it turns into why-nots.
