Music

My music is a tapestry of my musical influences (Carole King reference fully intentional), from the folk-rock musings of Fleetwood Mac, to the jazz inspired pop of Lakestreet Dive, and the intimate country-folk storytelling of First Aid Kit. I tend to write my songs on acoustic guitar and then get my gorgeous band involved to bring the arrangements to life with electric guitar, violin, banjo and saxophones. In my latest album, "Hopeless Romantic," the songs carry a sense of restlessness and introspection, inviting you on a desperate search with me for a love that will last and a place to call home. Yes please.

​

True to my country girl roots, I choose to remain off the social grid and intentionally keep my music away from streaming platforms; give me campfire gatherings or an evening with my record player any day. I'm a nomad and a rebel at heart, and you will always find me on the path less traveled. I value genuine connection over superficial recognition, and you won't find me posting meaningless 20 second soundbites on Instagram. I've made a deliberate choice not to chase after follows and likes, or bend to social media algorithms. This gives me space for my music to be created without compromise, and for it to be experienced in a way that feels a lot more authentic than the latest social trends.

​

My songs are my inner monologues, the musings of my wandering spirit, moving through the relentless landscape of life and the darkest of times with an overwhelming sense of romantic optimism. It's a spirit that I embrace in my live performances too, with joyful ramblings between songs. I invite you to listen with an open heart, with intention and with patience—to step back from the racing currents of social media and to slow down to a mindful pace that allows you to discover the deeper resonance of human connection through music, through poetry, and through heartfelt artistic expression.
