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
One night before bed I was thinking about the fact that I am graduating in eight months and the first part of this song came to mind. The song itself is kind of just a catharsis of what I'm feeling at the moment. The first part of the song is pretty much about graduating. Walking in line, shaking the hand of the principal and then being sent off into the world with just the wishes of the people who have been close to me the majority of my life. Another inspiration to the first part of the song is the fact that I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to do with myself and I really don't know where I'm going to end up finding my little niche. I finished up the song last week. I'm not exactly sure where I was going with the lyrics but they are pretty much conveying my sense of not having enough time to do what needs to be done.
Lyrics
i walk the line, i shake the hand recieve the wishes of the ones who have been with me these past eighteen years who have walked with me and wiped away my tears i walk alone, lost in the rush of a world that just won't slow down it's spinning round and dragging me along and i can't seem to find where i belong... i need time, to play my hand i need time, to help you understand that what you see, isn't always what you get and that this journey is not over yet... i need to run, i need to hide i need to purge all that i hold inside so that i will be able to see so that i will be able to believe...
