About Me

Thank you for visiting my Myspace page. I'm a local musician and I sing and play guitar at various bars, restaurants, lounges, in and around the triangle area. I host open mics nights and open jams, I do solo acoustic shows, and I also play at private events like birthdays and weddings. I'm a proud mother of two beautiful teenage daughters ages 14 and 16. I love my kids, I love all types of music, and I love meeting all kinds of people. I used to play music full-time for a living, but quit for one reason or another. I've learned that music is a hard habit to quit. So I'm back at it again, part-time. It's been a crazy road and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with so many wonderful people through the years and I look forward to many more to come.
I'm here to promote my shows, to re-connect with old friends, make new friends, and have fun! I can't remember where I read it or who said this, but life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. So I choose to be happy, think good thoughts, and to enjoy life, NOW, before the toilet paper runs out. hahaha! Yup, that's what I'm gonna do. Thanks again for visiting.
