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?
The Bluebird Cafe
On October 10, 2016 I got to fulfill a dream of mine that has been in my mind from the first time I visited Nashville. The Bluebird Cafe is an extremely well known venue in Nashville and to musicians all over the world, people travel from everywhere for an opportunity to play this intimate and historic venue. I was given the opportunity to play a round at the Bluebird from a great friend and that dream was realized! The whole performance was surreal, because while playing I was taking in the experience and the fact that I was living out a piece of my big goals. My friends came out to support me, my Mum was there, and the whole night was simply magical!
Meet and Greet
It’s so fun to play a show, and then getting to meet some fans after makes it even more fun. When I played the live stage at BX93 in London Ontario, they had set up a special area just for fans to meet and hangout with their favorite artists from the day. Get to meet great people and hearing how much they enjoyed a particular song is such an exciting way to connect with people, because it means what I’m doing has resonated with them, which is why we create music! Here are some photos from the day.
