News
This year, I have been focusing more on songwriting than on performing. In January, I attended the Austin Songwriter's Group's annual symposium. I made some new friends, got inspired, played a showcase, and got to hear from some of my favorite Nashville hit writers. I have been writing with friends Monte Warden and Terri Fann, and last month I recorded a demo of Terri's and my new song, "Me and the Tree," with my pal Colin Boyd.
One of my top goals for the spring is to put together a set of kid’s songs. Stay tuned for news about performances at Ruta Maya on Sunday mornings and other events.
