You must be a bit too kind to be kind enough

About Me

Music is my life.My first show was in Brenham, TX at age 9, and I've been singing and writing songs on my piano ever since.I would describe my music as pop, folk rock, and alternative thrown into a blender.I moved to Nashville in January of 2007 and I absolutely love it.I've seen every Audrey Hepburn movie ever made. I've seen "Breakfast At Tiffany's" at least 1001 times.If I was a TV show, I would be a mixture of Dawson's Creek, Friends, and Six Feet Under.I laugh at ridiculous things. And I laugh a lot. On Sundays, I can be found at the nearest bookstore.My sister and my mom are my best friends in the whole world.My favorite things: standup pianos, front porches, the smell of pancakes in the morning, pineapple, the feel of sand on my toes, sweatpants, bookstores, finding a new author that I love and reading everything they've ever written, Austin, TX, good conversation, sundresses, art museums, movies that mean something, my dog, pajamas, sarcasm, lilies, and the sound of thunderstorms.

Sounds Like: A wide variety of moods. my x-boyfriend's voice complaining because I wrote a song about him that isn't exactly complimentary. A pint of sunshine, a tablespoon of attempted optimism, and a teaspoon of dysfunction thrown into one of those fancy smoothy blenders. Vintage standup pianos that you might find in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

DMV

So today was an interesting day. I went to the DMV (insert groan) to switch my license to Tennessee from Texas. First, I was asked by two different people if I was there to get my learner's permit. No...
