2021 and great expectations

Re-emergence

Still shaking the mud and dirt of 2020 off my soul; it was a year of isolation, non-stop work, the death of my mother, and months spent waist-deep in emotional mire, trying to move enough to pull myself forward, even just an inch.

It's taken the Carolina heat and the warmth and the love of friends to start melting away everything that's held me in one place, to coax me back and gently put the guitar back in my hands and remind me that I can sing and write.

Look for me this fall as I begin to put a calendar of gigs back together. In fact, come meet me in Savannah, GA the first weekend in October when the Savannah Folk Music Society hosts me for their First Friday Concert series. Looking forward to this live, in-person performance and the joy of seeing my songs make people smile.
