Any shows or albums coming up?
The Woodstock Truckshow on May 25th is our summer festival season kickoff! Really excited about the lineup (Kelly Prescott, Danielle Bourjeaurd, Andrew Hyatt) and it’s also a fundraiser for the Special Olympics which warms my heart.
We’re also playing for the first time the Havelock Jamboree, Burlington Sound of Music Festival, Big Valley Jamboree in Alberta and a few more I’m dying to announce!
Releasing my first album in November which has musician legends who’ve played with Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, Lucinda Williams, Miranda Lambert and more!
