    New music coming soon

    My first singles—On the Street Where You Live and The Trolley Song—come out this month, and I couldn’t be more excited. Releasing music has been a longtime goal of mine, and I’m finally taking the leap for two reasons: having a streaming presence helps when I’m reaching out to venues, and it also gives me…

    Lost in Translation

    I’ve got a new project coming your way—but first a little story time. Singer/songwriter Jenna English and I met last fall.

I’ll be singing with the group “most” Thursdays (except the second Thursday of the month) from 7-9. p.m. We kicked off our first night at Galloway last week, and I had so much fun…
