Songstress & composer of Folk/americana multi Genre' and Instrumental Music

Bio

My love is singing, composing, playing my instruments and performing in the hope of enriching the lives of others.

I was blessed with music loving parents with beautiful voices. They cultivated my love of music by making sure I had plenty of exposure to it.

My journey through music began at the early age of six. Singing at church, in school choir and at special events. Over time I learned to play guitar, piano, mandolin, and started composing.

My latest recording project, an instrumental EP, "Comin' Home", was released August 28th, 2024.

When not working solo, I am performing in a duet, "Lo & The Captn", with Captn' Mike Thomas. We also perform as "Captn' and the Crew", a five piece band.

Aside from performing and songwriting I’ve produced/co-produced several events, and served as emcee/stage manager for many events.

1989 thru 1998, co-produced nineteen outdoor festivals at Pine Hill Music park near Tyler, Tx.
Co-founded and co-produced the 2009 and 2010 Texas Independent Music Expo, with Lisa Byrn, held at Son's of Hermann Hall in Dallas, TX.

TIME was an educational event with workshops geared toward helping independent music artists sharpen their skills, produce, promote and connect with industry related vendors, producers and educators.
