About Me
I picked up the guitar when I was four years old and I have been playing and singing ever since.
I grew up listening to the radio and my parent’s records—I credit my parents for my love of music... country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, rock n' roll... you name it. I remember singing with my dad—a man with a beautiful voice and a love for bluegrass and gospel music. And it was my mom who taught me the connection music has to your soul. I could tell how she was feeling by the songs she was listening to without saying a word. Probably has a lot to do with why I sing and play the songs I do—It brings me back to a place and time, makes me smile and tap my toes and want to dance. If I make that kind of connection when I sing to people it makes my day! In fact, I tend to remember peoples favorite songs more than I remember their names!
Earlier on I sang and played guitar at school, church and for just about anyone else who would listen. (I sang at a few competitions in my youth—even making it to state and nationals!) I’ve seen what music can do, soothe my children when they’re tired, bring back a wonderful memory, comfort a family, or friend, or sometimes someone I hardly know going through a hard time and sometimes during their last days. I guess I have finally figured out my “Knack” with music—that same connection between music and memories. And hopefully, I can connect with you too.
Through the years I have sang and played the guitar for all kinds of groups and organizations; both large and small. Over the last seven years I have primarily sang at different care facilities in the southeastern Minnesota area along side other gatherings such as birthdays and celebrations.
I live in the country with my wonderful husband where we have raised four great kids. I love spending time with my family, gardening, camping, animals, and bonfires. I love to laugh, tell stories, sing, and play the guitar!
