As a singer/songwriter I sometimes get a hankering to say a little more than an announcment or sing a short 3-4 minute song.  Blogging is the perfect format to dig a little deeper and share what’s on my mind.

I live in Boise Idaho. I love to share my music in coffeehouse venues, art galleries and festivals and even in someone’s backyard or living room. I’m married to Stan and we have 2 grown children, Ben and Ashley, who have turned out to be amazing people. (see pic: L to R - Stan, Nancy, Benjamin, Ashley, Ash’s boyfriend Billy Heath)

We also have 1 dark chocolate brown labrador named Phoebe who is a dear canine blessing.  Last year we had to say goodbye to our golden retriever mix, TigerDog, who passed away and is sorely missed - sigh.

And we love living right up the hill from Boise DownTown.  We ride our cruiser bikes to dinner alot.

 

 

My musical writing style has evolved with my life phases and I eventually settled down into a simple folk niche. It best seems to blend my musical roots and the kind of music I like with the type of voice I have. Simplicity and honesty are at the heart of folk songs. They evoke that sitting-on-the-porch type of feeling. More than ever, I want to convey that hominess with my songs and my aim is to let it come through in my writing.

That’s it in a nutshell.  But to be continued, of course, and most likely fine tuned and edited.
