I don't have a professional band right now. So...in the meantime...I've asked some friends who are all just learning their instruments to get together once a week to practice. Each week they just keep getting better and better. I'm very proud of them for their efforts and their willing hearts! They will be joining me at the Heritage Acres Praise Fest this year.
Influences:
Many, many, many! Too many to mention. There is not a lot of music genres that I won't listen. Love mostly everything! Husband thinks I'm a little weird that way! lol
I live in the beautiful province of British Columbia. I was born and raised in Cambridge, Ontario.
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I used to drive my mother crazy because as a very small child I used to sing the same words over and over again. She would say that I reminded her of a broken record.
I tried almost every instrument in school, but the only ones that really interested me were drums, sax and guitar. However, in those days, those instruments were considered only for boys!!! How rude! I was told that if I insisted on playing guitar I would have to do it out in the hallway by myself---which I did! hahahaha
I took a few guitar lessons when I was 12, but was hindered by too many more important things--I thought.
It wasn't till I was 21 that I finally picked up a guitar again. I borrowed an old beat up guitar with only 5 strings on it and taught myself to play. I'm no professional but I hold my own for what I need.
I now lead worship once a month at my church. I sing at Christian festivals and anywhere else I get invited to. My desire is to get much more involved in the music scene if God opens the doors for me to do so.
I am currently in the studio recording my first CD. I will let you all know when it is available!
