Hi Friend,
For those of you in NY, I'll have a songwriting workshop and a concert at Levon Helm Studios on Saturday, April 16. The workshop will be from 10 am -2 pm. I will talk about the art and craft of songwriting, discuss melody, structure, lyric writing, courage, honesty, and truth. I will also listen to songs and offer feedback to those who want it. Doors for the show: 7:30 pm
I hope that you all have a great month ahead! Thanks for being on this journey with me.
December 2021 | Thank you + Holiday Sale 🎄
Hi Friend,
Greetings from Key West, Florida! We are working from our hotel room after an amazing week of shows: One on Sarasota, one in Ft. Lauderdale, then at the Ryman back home in Nashville and then another in Tampa at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it's about gratitude and being thankful. This year, I am especially thankful for all of your support during these past difficult months. You inspire me every day to keep creating and I appreciate your support for my music. I am headed to the studio to make a new record when I get back to Nashville next week. There will be new music from me coming out in 2022.It's been a while! I am excited to hear what these new songs will sound like with full band. Showtime!
If you are looking for a gift for yourself or your loved ones, I have a limited-time sale running now on select items from autographed copies of my latest book, Saved By A Song, Vinyl & CD bundles, hand written lyrics of Mercy Now, T-shirts and many other collectible items that would make great gifts.

Hi Friend,
Hello from beautiful Kingston, NY where the weather has turned chilly and fireplaces are now lit. We loved spending a few days here at The Hotel Kinsley, resting in a beautiful room on our day off, and enjoying a fantastic meal in the cafe. If you are ever out here near Woodstock I highly recommend this hotel. It's a real gem located in a renovated historic building with gorgeous rooms.
Huge thank you to Nashville News Channel 4 and Lauren Lowrey for running this story on me a few days ago, grateful for your support! "Grace and Grit: Songwriter looks inward to give hope and healing in new book."
We will continue down the road in November and December, playing rescheduled shows from 2020. We are especially excited to return to the Atlanta area for two shows in December. You can check out all of our upcoming shows on the tour page. Each venue has their own Covid policies. All are requiring either proof of vaccination or negative test results.
In author world, the Saved by a Song audiobook is available now. It was really fun for me to read and play some songs for the audiobook. We still have special signed copies of the book available on my web store, as well. Visit the book page to order your limited edition autographed copy of Saved By A Song.
It was also exciting for me to participate in another story of transformational songwriting by accompanying the OutHaus Films documentary Invisible for its New York City premiere. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped it win the NewFest Audience Award for Best Documentary. Check out the photos below.
By popular request, Sundays With Mary returns this month! I hope you can join Jaimee and me live with special guests on November 14th and 28th at 2 PM, CDT.
📖 There is a limited quantity of signed hardcover copies of Saved By A Song available now on my website. Get yours today.
🎵 The Saved by a Song audiobook is also available now!
It's an honor to be a part of this documentary that moves an untold story forward. Invisible tells the powerful story of LGBTQ+ songwriters who have successfully navigated the male-dominated landscape of southern music. These women have all helped open doors for other LGBTQ+ songwriters in country/southern music by leaning into the things that makes a great songwriter a great songwriter: authenticity, using a unique voice, empathy, struggle, and going towards the hard stuff others would prefer to turn away from. They did/do so not without sacrifice.
The songs they put out into the world do what great songs do. They tap into the universal human experience. They help us ALL - regardless of sexual preference, gender, economic status - by articulating what we can not say for ourselves.
Thank you to everyone who made it out to the premiere in New York City on 10.22 or streamed this film. We won the New Fest audience award for Best Documentary!
