Just back from Dallas/Richardson, Texas, where much to my surprise and delight, I snagged 2nd place (out of like 300 submissions, hair flip) at the Al Johnson Performing Songwriter contest. I brought my girl Rachel along and we had a gay ol time despite the weather thwarting our full set on the City Line stage! Hopefully they'll have us back next year for a do-over! Until then, I'll be dreaming of Torchy's tacos! 

Below is a snap of me backstage in the (temperature controlled, thank god) green room, acting like a goober who's never been shown such hospitality. I'll link to the "winners" photo, where as you can see, I've transformed into a sweaty street clothes monster. 

My new single Time Machine hasn't even been out for six full months, and it's already my most streamed song to date, with over 13K total streams and climbing! ​

Special thanks to Alex Dausch (electric guitars, production, mixing, mastering) Rachel Hall (keys, bass, production), Jules Stewart (drums) for helping me create this tribute to my late ex-husband. For those who still dabble in Facebook, you can read our full story here.

The track is getting lots of international love, which is semi-soothing to my grieving soul. Even though the song is quite sad, and I wish I never had to write it, it's kind of like the memory of Benny is traveling all over the place, which feels special, all things considered.
