Coolest thing happened! While I was on vacation, I happened to play open mic at Founders Brewery Company in Grand Rapids, MI and got invited to be interviewed by WYCE 88.1 FM host Laura Nowe in studio the next morning! Thank you so much for the opportunity Laura Nowe and station manager Hayes Griffin for having me on your Open Mic show.

I was a First-timer at FARM this year and it was an amazing experience I'll never forget! It was non-stop performances and workshops. Both nights I was up till 3 am listening or playing in the private showcases. Seeing so many talented musicians, one right after the other, was nothing I've ever experienced before and I loved every moment of it. There were so many musicians I had heard about, but never met and I'm thrilled I was finally able to. Even my workshop choices were terrific - Using Humor Between Songs, Folk Community and Social Responsibility and the Power of Personal Narrative in Performance. Special thanks to the Wheatland and Earthworks private showcases for the opportunity to perform and a huge shout-out to Fauxgrass for allowing me to play Texas with them during their set. Special thanks to FARM's director Annie Capps and the board of directors for providing me with a youth scholarship to attend the conference. I made use of every minute at FARM and left the weekend full of ideas that I can't wait to explore in my music! Can't wait to come back next year!
Many thanks to the Great Lakes Music Camp for the amazing weekend of music and friendship on Lake Michigan! So grateful to have been awarded a youth scholarship to learn from amazing musicians and songwriters. I had an incredible time during the late-nite jam sessions and learning from the super talented Kenny Smith, who led the Rhythm Guitar workshop, mandolin virtuoso Don Julin for his Mandolin workshop and one of my favorite songwriters, the illustrious May Erlewine in her Songwriting workshop. It was a weekend of traditional music that gave me all the feels and I even got complementary strings and a fiddle tuner from Elderly Instruments! Special thanks to Jason Wheeler for making it all happen and I can't wait until next year for another incredible experience.
