I'm an American singer-songwriter, freelance journalist and mother of two girls. I spent many years in Germany and am now returning to my native country. Some artists I love include  Patty Griffin, Kathleen Edwards, Tift Merritt, Gillian Welch, Regina Spektor, Antje Duvekot, the Weepies and Lori McKenna. I also even listen to some guys occasionally such as Teddy Thompson, Ryan Adams, Townes van Zandt and Robert Coleman Trussel. I have a thing for the melodic groups of the 60's and 70's. Groups like the Eagles, America, the Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel or Linda Ronstadt in her Southern Rock phase. Plus singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King. I think my songs appeal to people who also like to listen or grew up on that kind of music. To me it's about the song. It should have an appealing melody and lyrics that mean something. I'm not reinventing the wheel. I have two full albums out, both produced in Texas with producer Bradley Kopp.
