BIOGRAPHY

I am a 27 year old mother of two. Two rotten boys. My oldest is seven and my youngest is two. They are my whole heart. I am married to a good man. He is a fireman and loves his job! I recently graduated from college with my Associate's degree in Web Technology. I am a very spirited person; a little shy, but once you get to know me, I come around. As far as my music, what can I say except that IT"S IN ME! I make the music I love whether anyone else loves it or not.

INFLUENCES

I grew up very poor and I lost my father when I was very young. He never had a lot to leave us but he left me his passion for music. He always used to say that "Music is Free". He made his own music. We may not have had much money but music made our lives meaningful and fun! After my father passed away, music became my way of keeping him here with me. It's in my BLOOD! So, I would have to say he is my biggest influence.

Legends: Bobby Braddock

In Nashville, most successful songwriters have a fairly short run. On hit, one year, two years, five years. Occasionally, we get one whose career approaches the length of a real career or, more often, one who has a few years success, then slips into oblivion, only to emerge again for another brief era of hit-making.

Legends: Rickie Lee Jones

She speaks softly, not unlike the way she sings --soft, soulful passages, almost like secrets to the closest of friends --punctuated by bursts of exaltation. It's much like the span of emotion in her work, and in her new record, Balm in Gilead, which veers from the pure, naked heartbreak of "Bonfires" to the elation of "Old Enough," to the beautiful "Wild Girl," which celebrates the 21st birthday of her daughter, while simultaneously reflecting on the unchained fervor of her own wild days.

Legends: Robert Earl Keen

As singer/songwriters go, Robert Earl Keen doesn't seem like the kind of artist who could honestly be accused of sloth. But despite a catalog choked with characters and conversations pulled from a colorful life, he makes that very claim on "Something That I Do," a track where he brags of his ability to not let work get in the way of an otherwise pleasant afternoon.

Townes Van Zandt: Facets, Faults & Fractures

It's 10 o'clock at night on an abandoned Music Row. The year is 1985. In a third-floor office in an old house that serves as the offices for the Oak Ridge Boys' Silverline/Goldline Music Publishing, Steve Earle brings the chair he's leaning back in down hard, flipping his hair out of his eyes for emphasis.
