female singer/songwriter/musician from East TN
I am a solo singer/songwriter/musician from an abyssmal black hole of a town called Morristown in East Tennessee. I have played the piano since I was 6 and took up the acoustic guitar in October 2003. I like covering songs but I also write a few myself. I've played on open mic nights in downtown Morristown, The Acoustic Battles at The DownTown, open mics in North Carolina at Blue Mountain Pizza and hopefully some others soon. I have been given alot of support by the other local musicians I am currently a music and Spanish double major at Mars Hill College near Asheville, NC, and am interested in meeting other musicians around the area and possibly playing some open mic nights. I'd like to venture out into the world of gigs but I am on a college student budget and do not own equipment other than my guitar. So for now I'm stuck with open mics and things of the nature unless I can get a gig where amplification and such is provided. I put a lot of time right now into my classical voice stuff and will have a recital coming up in the next 6 months, but hopefully I can get some new acoustic stuff together soon. The songs I have on this page aren't of great sound quality because I record with my mic onto my comp, but it works well enough I suppose. Hope you enjoy.

Story behind the song
This song is a reivsed version of an older song I had written called Late Night. I was looking through my lyric book one day and decided the song needed work. I ended up changing everything about it except the first stanza. Everything else--melody, beat, lyrics--is different.
Lyrics
Downtown late night drinking coffee trying to shake off this beer buzz that I got long before the last call was made. I came here tonight to drive you out of my mind but it did not work very well. I can't go home and try to sleep without you by my side tonight. I need you to hold me And rock me to sleep And sing to me a sweet lullaby. Finally at home, lying awake in bed wondering if you are tormented by thought of me like I am by thought of you. I miss the way you felt inside of me and the way that you smiled in the morning light. And now as I lay here shivering in the cold dark of night in the absence of your warm touch I realize... I need you to hold me And rock me to sleep And sing to me a sweet lullaby. I cannot believe that you are really gone and I am here alone. No one else can fill this void. I need you to hold me And rock me to sleep And sing to me a sweet lullaby.
