Live performance of "Proud Mary" on Youtube!

New video out on Youtube! This time a live performance of Tina Turner's song "Proud Mary"! Probably the most fun I've ever had on stage. Performed at the annual Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Foundation Fundraiser -AKA the Barndance. With over 200 people sweaty and dancing in our barn this year, we raised over $50,000!! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed and I'm sorry I'm posting this video so late!

Thomas's Song Debuts on the Radio!

So, I'm sorry I haven't gotten to update earlier! Due to Hurricane Sandy, I haven't had internet for the past 5 days... But anyway, Thomas's Song, from my EP, made its first appearance on the radio this past Tuesday! It was the best night of the year so far! I cried and squealed for about a good 5 minutes straight. I also had some of my best friends over to help celebrate with me =)
Thank you to Irene Collins for giving me a chance on 92.5 The River's homegrown showcase and thank you to my friends and everyone who listened on Tuesday for the support! I love all of you for that and I'm so grateful!
