3rd Annual Southern Gospel Fest

Oh what a night! Saturday I opened for the 3rd Annual Southern Gospel Fest in Waynesboro VA sponsored by Blue Ridge Talent Agency & promoter, Pam Barton (great job Pam!!) Not only have I never listened to southern gospel but needless to say I've never opened for a show of that caliber. We had 500+ in attendance & they were ALIVE in the spirit!!

The other acts included Greater Love Trio  (formally quartet but their bass was out on medical that night), Mark Bishop (singer/songwriter), Brian Free & Assurance, and  The Tabernacle Baptist Drama Team of Lumberton, NC. It was energizing, moving, electric & fun...I met some great people (see my photo gallery page) & opened my ears to some new sounds... got home @ 4am to sing mass at 11am @ Holy Trinity :) ...and I was awake (coffee is a wonderful thing!) Thank you to Waynesboro for welcoming me & to Pam for the invitation.

I'm currently working on material for the Christmas CD...I'll be in Nashville in May doing instrumental tracks & then go back in Sept to finish up vocals.

Most of my appearances this summer will be in the Outer Banks area, restaurants & church ...in Sept (before my studio time) I'll be show-casing @ the National Quartet Convention ...the convention invites solos, duo & trio along w/quartets ...this is exciting!

If your church is interested in booking me for a fund raiser, please have them contact me as soon as possible for scheduling.

I'm Not Alone

The production of I'm Not Alone has truly been an instrument in my life... divinely inspired. I heard a voice almost a year ago at mass telling me now was the time to step outside the box & share the most intimate part of me: my spiritual journey. I've been a church musician since I was 14 years old but I NEVER thought I would record a cd of Christian material. From the get-go divine intervention was obvious...researching material brought me to Sarah Hart who happened to be in FL singing on the same weekend I was doing a Hospice benefit just an an hour away from her workshop & show...once in the recording studio in Nashville, my musicians gave me goose bumps when they got the vision & translated it into music... over lunch in the studio, there was a sharing of personal journeys w/my backup singers on how God touched & graced our lives...the studio was filled w/little miracles daily while I was engulfed in song for 2 weeks on my own mini retreat. I sang, I cried, I danced... it was fun, grueling, invigorating & draining... my ears were fried after 12-14 hour days in the studio...the outside world was non-existent except for my bed & a hot shower... what we will do to feed our passion, to stir the soul, to be in total harmony with the why I am here, to set my prayers to music... to thank God I'm not alone.
