Blogging for the West Coast Songwriter's 30th Annual Conference!


Excited to be blogging for the West Coast Songwriter's website - I'll be attending their 30th Annual Conference next month & live blogging throughout! Check out my first post:

As September 10th approaches, the kick-off of the West Coast Songwriters Annual Conference, we are working to make this 30th anniversary the most exciting and enlightening yet. To enhance this year's experience - we're introducing a WCS blog live from the event! Written from the perspective of a new member, Whitney Nichole (nice to meet y'all!), we'll be posted updates throughout the weekend. So if you can't make the conference in its entirety, or you just have to miss your favorite speaker to step next door for a song screening - never fear - there'll surely be a blog to fill you in. The lineup this year speaks for itself - check it out here & be sure to register now before it's full!

Mix Playback.

Can you believe its been almost four whole months since we began this process? I can't. This album has now been in the works since mid-April - when I first met Adam and knew it was time. Time to get these songs that I've been writing for years, get them out. Its funny, that it actually has felt something like giving birth (as if I have any clue what that feels like) - but its this living thing I've created. These songs - they move, they grow, they connect with people and have a unique relationship with every person who hears them. And this album feels like something that has moved through me - and I'm now getting ready to send it off into the world.

Getting ready means that I'm listening - over and over - to all the rough mixes we put together. It is nice that Adam is away for a few weeks, and I can spend some time with this record all by myself. We've still got a couple things to finish, and more mixing to do - but the rough elements are there. And I can't wait to share it. Soon... :)
