landscape and the lives lived there. Her music ranges in style from
contemporary folk to country and bluegrass. Her voice is rich and warm,
often conversational in style; her performances are engaging, inspiring
and filled with hilarious stage patter and story. Her songs evoke a
sense of place in the listener, so sit back and enjoy being whisked
