Album Notes

In the sometimes sugar-coated, self-imploded, down-loaded, blah, blah, blah of the musical world, listening to my music is like going over to your house for tea--I can relate to you how I feel about sour love, living in the bush, walking around the world, deforestation, lost hunters, and the icy claw of winter.

In my university years I was introduced to the guitar while playing and singing in a church folk group. It was at that time when I discovered coffeehouses and passionate singer/songwriters who inspired me to write my own songs.

Since that time I have lived on the south pacific island of Samoa, amongst a very musical people, where I performed my first concert. I've also busked in the streets of Australia, played under the stars in Baja, and enjoyed the excitement of having a top-forty song in Canada.

My life as a songwriter has taken many twists and turns. I now live in the Yukon with my husband and son amongst Canada's tallest mountains, grizzly bears, and the midnight sun. It's here where I am inspired by the powerful wilderness and a very vibrant Yukon musical scene.

Thanks to technology and the help of many friends, my self-titled debut recording was produced in the small community of Haines Junction near where I live. The cd includes a good mixture of what I do musically. I'm working on a new batch of tunes: from the absurdity of drilling for oil in ANWR, to the healing powers of fire. Stay tuned for more music from north of 60!
