A small venue is so much more intimate and loose. You can actually be more spontaneous, I feel.

After I found April Barrows, I felt I had found a soul mate. Her stuff is exactly what I was looking for.

After so many changes, I realized I'd better cling to my own family and to what I've got right here.

But it's just been recently that Nashville has started to feel like home.

Country has been a wonderful outlet for me.

For some reason, the concept of writing with swing chords was intimidating.

I have been fortunate enough to record several singles and a whole album with Chet Atkins.

I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with.

I played in the percussion section 4th grade through high school - snare and timpani mostly.

I think it's going to take my whole life to sort of get people to know what my perspective is.

I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.

I'm a real Suzy Homemaker.

I'm definitely not ready to move into something else. I'm having so much fun.

I've always loved to sing.

I've always seen myself as sort of this funky, eclectic artist.

I've been playing swing chords for a long time.

It's like Willie Nelson. You're an artist and you have different styles inside of you.

Meeting Chet was a life changing moment for me.

My first solo was in church when I was five.

My mother was really into big band. It was played in the house all the time.
