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!
Live Music In Burlington Vermont
I love touring. I love traveling to new cities and meeting new people at shows, it’s all so fun. This show in Burlington was great and so intimate compared to the bigger shows I play with my full band. During the day I get to hang and explore, but on show days I’m always really excited for the actual show to start! Arriving at the venue, sound checking, and beginning the set is always so exciting!
First Time To Vermont
Burlington was such a cool city! I’d never been to Vermont before and it wasn’t hard to fall in love with the state when this city was so beautiful and artistic. I spent time right in the downtown core and then went to this adorable breakfast spot the morning after my show! One of the coolest shops I discovered was Common Deer, where almost everything they stock is made by small vendors from all over America. I definitely indulged in some sweet treats as well with Ben and Jerry’s, because they were founded right in Burlington! Have you been to Vermont? If so, what was your favorite part?
Ferrying Through Fall
I’ve been on a ferry before, but it’s always been much longer than this one! This was a short jaunt across the waterway between New York And Vermont and it was so pretty to be able to see both states from a different perspective. It was my first time to Vermont and I really loved my time there! As soon as we crossed over the lake it felt different from upstate New York, and I already felt like it was somewhere I’d like to explore, which was great because I had about 24 hours to explore the city of Burlington! I’ll tell you all about Burlington Vermont in my next post!
