It’s been a big year for me! I started my blog, I started touring a lot more, I released two songs to radio, and there were ups and downs, and bridges to cross, it was a lot packed into one year, but all in all, it’s been a great year and so much fun. I loved playing shows in LA, Chicago, New York City, Vermont, Maine, and visiting so many new places as well! I’ve grown as a musician, I’ve learned so much professionally, personally, and through going to school at Belmont all the while. I love the people I get to work with, the music I get to create, the musicians I get to play with, it’s such a magical experience every time we step on stage. Here are some of my favorite pictures from this year, I’ve had such a great time sharing it with you!
Great Lakes Country Interview
On Saturday morning before the days events began I got to sit down with Country 103 Great Lakes Country and got to share news about the new music I’m working on, the upcoming album, and the CCMAs! It’s always great to connect with listeners and share some live music, which is exactly what we did! I played an unplugged version of Off The Market live on air. Then we got to chat about what it’s like to be on tour, making a record, and spending time between Nashville and Canada. They also broadcast the show live on Facebook which always makes for some candid moments!
Radio Row
Music feels like it runs through my veins right along with my blood, so I love meeting other people who are passionate about music! Radio row is one of the most fun parts of CCMA because I get to see all the incredible people who work at radio stations and bring our music to listeners everywhere. I get to catch up with friends, and meet new friends, all while talking about the CCMAs and music in general! Here are some photos from the day. What’s your favorite radio station?
On Air in London
Last year I went to visit the BX93 office with my first single to country radio. They had me play in the office and get to know some of the great people at the station. This year they had me come and play for an audience of listeners while broadcasting our interview live on air! It was such a great experience getting to play Bad Habit and an unreleased song for the crowd. Afterwards we had a meet and greet with some fans and got to snap a few pictures, I’ll be sharing that post later this week. It was one of my favorite ways to spend any day!
Party In Black
I’m a big fan of sparkles, and this dress was no exception. It was so comfortable and easy to wear, but definitely made a statement! Part of attending the CCMA weekend is attending the parties! Which means party dresses. I loved seeing all the fashion that was on display, because any excuse to get dressed up is worthy in my opinion. After trying on about 20 dresses I finally decided on this sparkly feathered number because as soon as I put it on I felt like I was ready to have fun! What kind of outfit gets you excited for a night on the town?
Exploring Sudbury
I’d never been to Sudbury until recently, for a radio visit to KICX 91.7 but what a great day trip! I happen to love being in the car and driving to new places, it’s great for laughing, chatting, reflecting, and audiobooks, which are all some of my favorite pastimes! I especially love early morning drives, it feels like the whole world is still asleep and everything it so still and quiet. Especially in the forest heavy parts of Northern Ontario. Do enjoy day trips to new places as well, or prefer longer trips?
