I’m a country girl. I grew up in Minnesota at the High Point Ranch, which was fifteen miles from the nearest stoplight. There, I broke and trained wild, Arabian horses. When I was growing up, my brothers and I tended to a vegetable garden a half-acre in size and worked 40 acres of alfalfa fields. We were forced to butcher chickens the old fashioned way and use the outhouse even in winters 40° below zero.
Growing up with all of these experiences has left me with memories - all which find their way into the songs I write and sing.
When I finally left Minnesota, I ended up in Humboldt County. There, I lived in a trailer, raised two kids, and learned about the joy of the simple things in life: things like the sun streaming though the redwoods, or driving the winding road through The Avenue of the Giants. I cannot forget the day I gave birth to my son at home with the help of just two local midwives. The simple life allowed me time to really focus on my singing and songwriting.
As my kids got older I felt the need to provide more for them. So, I went to school and became a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, I’ve seen suffering, miracles and triumphs.
In my free time, I learned instruments from the guitar to the piano, to the flute, and even the clarinet. I wrote more and more songs and recorded my first demo in Nashville with some incredible musicians.
Since then, I’ve sung at special events, coffee houses, parties, churches, and bands. I’ve been blessed to sing the National Anthem at Cal State San Bernadino, the Stampede, The Cucamonga Quakes stadium, and other venues.
As you listen , I hope you’ll pick up on all the feelings and soul I’ve put into every song, and that they strike a cord somewhere deep within you.
Thanks for listening.
