Home Sweet Home

Can you believe these pictures are from 20 years ago?! They were taken by an old friend, Rayne Roberts, who was a young photographer at the time. We rode the train out to Dobbs Ferry, NY to shoot the album cover for my debut album Sweet Home: The Music of Robert Johnson. I was a few months pregnant and no one around me knew except my husband, my husband and I’s parents, and maybe a few close friends. I started a lot of new things at that time. I began training in the Alexander Technique, I started recording an album of music by Robert Johnson with some incredible musicians - many of whom would become staple players in my bands for years and travel through national and international tours with me, and I was at the start of a lifelong journey of becoming a mother.  

This past March 2024 both my daughter and Sweet Home, The Music of Robert Johnson turned 20! That feels crazy to be able to say! I’m so proud of my ongoing commitment to make original music that I believe in and I’m even more proud of this incredible human I have had the opportunity to raise who doesn’t need me all the time now (which is kind of surreal and a tiny bit sad:). But of course this means that now I have more time to make music.

So if you’ve been wondering what I’ve been doing. That’s it. After completing and releasing my first memoir Lost & Found: Finding The Power In Your Voice last July, I told myself I would make space to compose some more music. And now I have a whole new theme since the music I’m writing is based on the book. So if you haven’t ordered a copy yet, I encourage you to buy one today. And if you want to hear more behind the scenes make sure to tune in to the conversation I’’ll be having with April Reigart on Friday, July 12th at 12pm noon on Instagram Live.
