Pigs And Peaches - Do I Have To Eat Them Together?

We had such a good time in Kennesaw last night! I LOVE playing at BBQ festivals because we get fed so well! You better believe this southern girl can eat up some pulled pork. :)

They set the "Guinness Book Of World Records: Largest Kickball Game" yesterday. How cool is that!?!?

So the Mayor of Kennesaw introduced me last night... ummm... that was REALLY cool.
(he's next to me in the black shirt)


Two of my Berklee girls came to the show, and I STILL can't believe it!!! These are two INCREDIBLY talented women. Nicole (on the left) is producing for all kinds of artists in Atlanta including Lisa's (on right)new album. I can't WAIT to get my hands on a copy of one. We used to do shows together at Berklee and they are both incredible singers. It was so cool to have them in the audience! I had to be on my A-game in front of singers like this!


I met my first "FrItalian Americanuk" (French Italian American Kanuk) That's what his girlfriend calls him... since he is an Italian from Canada (Montreal) living in America. :) Love it.


Definitely the first time I've been asked to sign "under the crocodile"


Shoe signage!


This one asked me to marry him. ADORABLE!!! I told him that my drummer had beat him to it, but if anything went south there, I'd be sure to give him a call ;)


Ciara ran my merch table and it helped me out SOOOOOO much. Thank you for everything girl!


And FINALLY I got to meet Tina (far right) from Acts Nashville, who booked me on this gig and MANY others! She's booked gigs for me for so long now, but we've never met!



And just a few more of the awesome people I met! There were so many!











Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Last Night in Nashville for 6 Weeks!

I had SUCH a long list of things I needed to do this week while I was at home.

I got the most important ones going.... you know... writing music!!! :) I am walking away with 3 songs finished and many more in the works. But ALL the other little things... :) they took a little back seat...

It's ok though!! I mean, really?? This week: Thursday I am opening for Josh Gracin in Mansfield PA. :) Friday I am singing for the Boston Celtics at a home game, and Sat I am playing at Cafe 939 in Boston - basically at Berklee. :) What a fun way to get this last leg of the tour rolling!!!!

Before I get back to doing laundry, packing, and realizing all the things I meant to do this week that never got done.... I have to give a shout-out to my good friend Mr. Charlie Hutto. We wrote yesterday and I finally got to catch up on all of his good news!!!

Just to remind everyone how I know Charlie: we met at Berklee, played a bunch together at school, and then when he moved to Nashville - he was in the band for a long time until we started going on the road full time.

Along with being an incredible songwriter, upcoming producer (he just produced another good friend, Jenn Bostic's record), and fantastic guitar player....
He is the Band leader and the "Riley" part of Williams Riley Band. :)
The Williams Riley Band just added their new single "I'm Still Me" to radio this week. And the video was added to CMT today!!!

Williams Riley Band   More CMT Music   More CMT Music Videos

They added the song on the same week as Keith Urban and Brad Paisley's new singles were added... that makes it even MORE difficult to get airplay as a new artist. But we can all help by requesting and spreading the word!!! :)

I'm just very happy for Charlie. They are having a blast on their radio tour right now - and we're gonna be zig-zagging along each other's paths up in the Northeast this week. :)

Hope to see y'all out on the road! We're driving to Rhode Island tomorrow. Well... getting a head start at least.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
