I grew up on a small farm in Massachusetts, in a family that played. My dad ran a bluegrass band out of our living room every Thursday night, my grandmother was a musician, and by six I was playing too. By eight, my brother and I were opening for my dad’s band. By high school we had our own little music business, playing bars and coffee shops across the state.
Out of high school, an independent record label took notice, and we took it as far as we could. We toured the country and out to Australia, opened for bigger artists, wrote and produced our own EPs and albums, and ran our own live production. Years on the road. Thousands of shows.
That’s where I learned everything I still use today: how to hold attention, carry a story, and move a room. The music never left me. This is where it lives.
