In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember singing in the living room for my parents. Also, there was a girl scout pageant and I dressed as Cher :) Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Why” "Why" was the single release from my album "With Love From Lake Huron." both the single and the album won the Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Country Recording in 2020 and 2021. This title is almost always reserved for a full album recording. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played for the Detroit Tree Lighting event on Television to over 80,000 people. That was a pretty big one. Whether the show is big or small, it only matters if we both feel engaged and connected. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? On the top of my bucket list has always been to play at the Ryman Auditorium, and also the Grand Ol Opry.
