on my way
Hola, boys and girls!
I’m so excited to report that the album is almost finished. I met with Rhandy Simmons of Siesta Ranch Studios a few days ago to start the mastering process. We’re still doing overdubs and other little fixes on all the songs, but they are really starting to come together. I’m so ready to put this album out there and into your hands. It’s been a really...
time flies
Hey everyone! I can’t believe how fast time flies. Has it really been a month since my last post? Wow. I think I know what my New Year’s resolution should be: posting more often! So…the album. I’m excited to say that we’re in the home stretch. My goal is to have all the finishing touches put on and the mixing completed by the end of year. Then it’s off to be...

lately
Hey there, boys and ghouls. I know I’ve been MIA lately, so I thought I’d stop in and post.
I’m still working on those top 10 lists I mentioned in my last post…so stay tuned. I’m also still hard at work on my album. I made the tough decision to re-record all of the vocals, because I just wasn’t happy with the way they turned out. Luckily, I’m doing all...

super tour wrap-up extravaganza
Hey there, boys and ghouls…I have really fallen off the wagon with my posting, so I guess I better fill you in on the last few weeks.
I was really looking forward to visiting Hot Springs and Memphis after my awesome weekend in Louisiana. My mom had told me my whole life how much she wanted to go to Graceland, so I decided to take her. We set out on Friday afternoon with a full car and a gas...

tour: days 3 & 4
Hey there, boys and ghouls. Time for another tour update. Friday evening, I set off to Shreveport with my oldest and dearest friend Sara in tow. We had dinner at the always awesome Blind Tiger before heading to the Dalzell house. If you’re ever in Shreveport and want to hang out with some really cool people (like Rayvilla the Killa and the awesome merch dude for Griefhound - sorry dude I...
tour: day 2
Hey everyone!
Day 2 of the tour went a little differently than I thought it would, but I can’t say it went badly.
I woke up after getting a few hours of sleep, packed up, and headed for downtown San Antonio. I walked around for a while, and saw the Alamo and the Riverwalk. I really felt like I left a piece of myself in San Antonio. I felt a real connection with this city, and I can’t...

tour: day 1
Hey there, everyone! I decided I’ve keep a daily blog during the tour, so here it is.
The first part of the trip down here (aka from Tyler to San Antonio) seemed to fly by. The second part of the trip seemed to drag on for what felt like an eternity. I finally made it here and played, and I met some really great folks while I was at it.
First and foremost, I have to thank Rubin at G.I.G....

a little longer
Hey there, boys and ghouls.
I just wanted to share with you guys how excited I am about my tour. It kicks off on July 1st and wraps up on July 30th. I’ll be stopping in around Texas, and visiting Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee. If you live close enough to any of the shows, I hope you can make it there! I would love to meet some new people and make some new friends. I’ll...

the countdown begins
Hey out there!
I know I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I’d pop in for a quick minute and tell everyone how things are going.
First and foremost, I’m so grateful to all of you folks who were praying for and sending good thoughts to my boyfriend’s mom. She’s back at home and doing well.
The countdown to the album being finished has begun. We shot all the album art yesterday, and I’ll be...

Hey there, boys and ghouls :) I hope you’re all doing well.
I haven’t stopped in in quite a while, so I thought I would drop in for a bit. The album is coming along quite nicely. I’ve gotten bass and drums all locked in over the past few weeks. Next up on the menu: guitars.
Right now, I feel like life is sort of on hold because my boyfriend’s mom is in the hospital. Until my other mother is...

heylo
Howdy, boys and girls. Hope you’re all doing well. Here’s what I’ve been up to.
First off, since the last time I posted there was a tragedy in Japan. First, they were hit by the fifth-biggest earthquake of the last century. Next, a massive tsunami triggered by the earthquake devastated the northeastern coast. As if that weren’t enough, a large nuclear plant had a partial...

What’s up, everyone? Just thought I’d pop in for an update. :)
I’ve been checking out some new bands lately, and I thought I’d share them with you guys. Three of my top faves are Hey Monday, The Pretty Reckless, and VersaEmerge. Whether you like pop-punk, grungy alternative, or experimental rock with a post-hardcore feel, you’re sure to find something that pleases...

long days
Hey there, boys and ghouls :) These last few days have been crazy busy, and I’m finally taking a break to post a few words.
Everyone send your prayers and good thoughts to the victims of the NZ earthquake and all those fighting for their rights in Libya. When tragedy and hardship strike, the Lord is hard at work sending help and hope to those who need it most.
I just bought my first pair...

what up :)
Hey, all you chicks and dudes. As always, I have news and thoughts. :)
My first thought is…if you haven’t bought some TOMS shoes, you definitely need to check them out. Their philosophy as a company is “One for One”. Basically, if you buy a pair of TOMS shoes, another pair is given to a child in need. Wearing TOMS is a great way to look cool and help out the world, so you should most...

pause for the cause
Hey there, everyone :)
I mentioned in my last post that I’ve gotten really into following world events lately. I’ve also found a few causes that I support, and I really want to share them with you guys.
The first one is XXXchurch. XXXchurch is aimed at bringing awareness, openness, and accountability to those affected by pornography. As someone who has been personally affected by the...

the news
You know, boys and ghouls…I’ve really made it my goal lately to be more aware of what’s going on in the world. I had a very cool professor in college named Mr. Washburn who would always tell us to “remember that the world is bigger than just the county you live in”, and I’ve really been thinking about that lately.
Seeing all the struggle that’s going down in other parts of the world makes...

lp
Hey there boys and ghouls :) I just thought I’d pop in and let you all know that I’ve officially decided to finally record my LP. It’ll include the five songs that have been floating around out there forever as my unofficial EP, as well as five more that I’ve been playing live for a while but never got around to recording.
I’m going to start demoing everything this week…stay tuned for...
