“All songwriters should be this good..”
– The Boston Herald
She’s shared stages with Victor Wooten, The Neville Bros., Loudon Wainwright, Joan Armatrading, and Suzanne Vega, among many others.
In short, her work is literary, piano-driven folk with a restrained, atmospheric sensibility—more Leonard Cohen than Joni Mitchell in mood, but with a theatrical, character-driven storytelling approach. The kind of artist who fills small rooms in Ireland and gets championed by BBC presenters rather than chasing mainstream visibility.
She was the only American woman invited to The BBC’s Darwin Songhouse Project, Shrewsbury England (2009); has been commissioned to write musical theatre for The American Embassy School in New Delhi, India (2012); For the Indiana Arts Commission (2013, 2016); and has written commissioned choral pieces for several national and int’l choirs. She was in PBS national rotation for more than 5 years with her collaborative work, ‘Wilderness Plots,’ for which she and the collaborative team were recognized by both houses of the Indiana legislature for Contributions to the Arts; has composed 6 solo albums, 2 collaborative albums, ‘The Breeze Bends the Grass’ musical theatre score and music, for which she was awarded an ‘Indiana Masterpieces’ grant by the Indiana Arts Commission, and is currently working on two new albums, including an album of lullabies, which will release in 2026, and a score and narration for a PBS National documentary on the life of Artist/Author/Naturalist Gene Stratton Porter.
