New Year’s Eve

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!

Radio Tour Real Life

The past two falls I’ve been in school while being on radio tour, and people always ask me how it’s possible to juggle so much travel with being physically present in class.  The truth is, it’s just like anything else, you just do it.  I’m so fortunate to be able to work in music because I love it so much, and so if it means early mornings, lots of planes, sometimes trains, and always automobiles, it’s worth it.  Today I want to share with you some candid photos; sleeping on the car ride between stations, doing homework in the hotel room, squeezing in some holiday goodness from Starbucks, and an interview at Country 107.3 in Tillsonburg Ontario.  What are some things that you love to do, even if at times making it all work can be a fun challenge?

Country 89

I love radio station visits! It’s so much fun to visit with people who also love music.  I’ve been to Country 89 in Welland before, but it’s such a fun station to visit and it always makes me feel so special when I think about all the fantastic artists they have visit them and that I get to be a part of that!  On this visit I did an on air interview and then got to play a live version of Bad Habit, which is always fun for me because it has a totally different vibe than when it’s played with the band.

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!

High and Waisted in London

I had one afternoon with a few hours to kill and found my way to this park just outside of downtown London.  I always try and wear transitional outfits that can move from a meeting, to an interview, to drinks and still look completely put together.  That was my goal with this look because I had morning events and afternoon events, so I needed something chic but still versatile.  These high waisted jeans from Topshop have become my absolute favorite pair of black denim, especially after having the ankle taken in.  What are your favorite jeans that will be transitioning from your summer wardrobe to your fall style?

Arriving in London

I’ve been to London Ontario once before to visit some radio stations, so actually getting to explore the city as part of CCMA week was a great experience!  We arrived Thursday afternoon just in time to attend the opening reception at London Music Hall and throughout the week I had the chance to visit and take in some great local culture, I’ll be posting more about that soon, so make sure to check back!  In the mean time, here’s my outfit for the opening reception, a black lace dress with fringe detail and my favorite over the knee boots.  It was the perfect mix of style and glamour for the opening reception.  Black is always a go to color for me, what’s something you often reach for when putting together a great outfit?
