I started this whole crazy journey in a coffee shop just outside of my home town.  I played for a bag of coffee (which i’d hadn’t discovered its wonderfulness yet) and a few claps!

Looking back, I freakin’ loved it!  I played as many places as I could all along working a day job at a bank!  Seems pretty typical though.  Ask just about any banker and 6 out of 10 will tell you they are in a band.

It took some time, luck, and the support of an amazing women to discover I might be able to do this with out a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke). 

You see I made just about every mistake I could make as an independent musician.  Actually, I still make plenty of mistakes.  Yet I am still finding reasons to love what I am doing!

I love meet all of you and learning your story too!  Recently, I started a campaign to grow our music lovers community. 

So, I started the #humpdaygiveaway on Facebook.  Well…WOW!  I am amazed by all of your participation on Facebook, twitter, and Instagram! 

And so, Thanks!  From the bottom of my heart! 

Its Sunday morning and I am sitting with my 6 year old daughter watching cartoons and reflecting on my previous week of shows. 

While I am exhausted and happy to have a low maintenance mourning I am grateful.  Friday nights show at Barley & Vine in Lakeville was so much fun! the crowd was absolutely ready for the show.

Request after request and we even got a rather crated palates show from a customer (no kids were present).  However, it was hard not to sing a song on the spot about it.

Saturday we played a small festival in Crosby, MN called the Red Dirt Festival it was hosted by Surly and the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails.

Nathan and I got an opportunity to eat at this place called The Red Raven in Crosby, MN.  OMG!  I had the most amazing Cuban sandwich!  I recommend you get there ASAP.  5 stars!

Well that was my week.  I hope yours was amazing too.  Tomorrow I am doing a new Facebook live session called #TBT Top 20’s.  I will be singing a song called Plush by Stone Temple Pilots.

Join me for that session!  Everyone will be getting an amazing prize!  (Im like Oprah…and you get a prize, and you get a prize)

Have a great rest of your week!
