“I don’t wanna go through life without trying…that would be the worst thing, I’d rather fail than not try.”  – Bradley Cooper

It’s a big risk to follow your calling… Like Bradley Cooper said about “A Star Is Born”, he’d rather fail than not try.  I was so inspired by the movie and his personal passion project that I dove into watching behind the scenes interviews with crew and cast.

In one video, Bradley said he wanted to tell a story about family and childhood, (those elements weren’t in the other versions, this is the fifth remake) and he said, “You can’t choose what moves you.”

This is what music is for me.  Music is my passion and my love.  Music has carried me through life’s ups and downs.  Even on days where it feels like I am carrying A LOT on my plate (we’ve been so busy behind the scenes getting ready for our shows but I wouldn’t change this up for anything.

In 9 days, I will share the stage with Mick Taras at Hotel Cafe, Sunday 10/28, 7pm. This marks the 3rd time we’ve played to a packed house in the past year, and it is going to be super special.

(Drumroll please)
This will be the first time Mick is sharing his original songs since he’s lived in Los Angeles!  As we gathered around the mic during rehearsal this past week, Mick nicknamed the band “The Pack” and it felt that way.

Maybe it was the bluegrass–that feeling as if we’ve all been playing for decades versus coming together to rehearse for a show.

Not only are the songs deeply personal, but it also carries and fills me the way family does. Loving, unconditional and sweet.

Come be a part of our Sunday Family 10/28/18. Purchase advance tickets here (and be automatically entered to win a VIP package of goodies from me) I hope you will join us…make sure you love bluegrass before you come down!  ☺
