Who's Stopping You?

Common words, perhaps, but for me, it's quoting the title of a song by Semisonic, one of my all time favorite bands - you remember "Closing Time," right? I'm an artist at heart (singer, songwriter, audio engineer, writer and visual art hobbyist) sharing random thoughts as I wander my cities trying to figure out what I want to be and how to get there and try not to be the one stopping myself from going after my dreams. ;)

Happy Halloween, friends! If you’re free tomorrow, join me for a birthday show in Palmyra, NJ where I’ll be playing with my friends @maggiemae.music and @thegfpatrick Event link below. 😁 https://ift.tt/34hRTEp

Well, I rallied and found a good spot up in the balcony. Hope it’s as good as the last @mountaingoatsmusic show I saw! 😁 https://ift.tt/2LwNfxe

This is the only picture I took at #gearfest2019 today, but I loved @sylvia_massy ’s presentation and this @dpa_microphones demo. I got all kinds of great gear and I’ll be back tomorrow! Thanks @sweetwatersound! #audioengineer #producer #music http://bit.ly/2ZKiBn7

We tracked the last bits (handclaps, percussion, and vocals) of my Spark EP @berlinstudios today, with the help of copious amounts of water and @spirittea. That’s a wrap! Now on to mixing and mastering. 😎 http://bit.ly/2VAY1Hr

Great day @berlinstudios tracking guitars, cello, accordion, and vocals for my forthcoming EP. Thanks to @impossiblesong, Rachel Icenogle of @unclevalentinemusic, for their beautiful accordion and cello parts and performances, and @itsatrappe for great guitars and recording everything!! One more day of tracking to go! 😬 http://bit.ly/2Y1amlR

I've been away from this channel for too long. To get back into it, here's an oldie but a goodie at the Philadelphia Folksong Society open mic in early march. Heading into the studio to record some new songs next week!!!! Wish me luck, and have a fantastic day! by AshleynessVlogs

Sleepy selfie in my new @girlsrockphilly tee from last year’s LRC that I put on for #sundaysongwriting inspiration. Mission accomplished and now I can go to sleep. 😆😴 💤 https://ift.tt/2A0wUvB
