It occurred to me the other day that October 4th, 2012 was the night that I played my first ever open mic. It kind of blows my mind. Since then I've the pleasure to meet and get to know the kindest people, who have taken my music and made it into something bigger than I could have ever imagined. So thank you to everyone who has made this dream possible, I wish I had the words to let you know how much it means to me. I love you guys, I really do. This past year has been the best one I've lived yet, full of so many incredible opportunities and amazing friends. And the best part is: I'm only getting started.

As promised, there will be ONE LAST SHOW at Mama D's Coffee before I pack up my car and head to Nashville.  It will take place Tuesday, July 30th at 6:30 PM with Treason This.  Be sure to get there early, I play first!  Mama D's is an amazing coffee shop that supports local musicians and I couldn't be happier to have my final Wisconsin show here.  And if you're not into the music, stay for the food... It's delicious!  ;)  Hope to see you there!

Track 5:  Midnight

When we're kids, we can be whoever we want to be.  For the longest time, I chose to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid…  But all too quickly, the make believe fades away and we've got the rest of our lives to plan for.  Our dreams get pushed to the side because they're not "reality."  We all grow up too fast.  But our dreams are like a glass slipper - the perfect fit.  So, don't let the clock strike midnight.

Track 4:  Take It Back

This song is about two people.  The first is a friend who's lived her whole life facing racial discrimination.  The stories she told me about her childhood broke me down to tears.  She's a stronger person today because of what she went through, but those kinds of wounds never fully heal.  The second, is about a boy who never felt confident in his own skin.  It tore his life apart and heavily affected his friends and family.  Whereas my friend has found her voice and pride, he still has yet to.  The world is a dark place but being strong to who we are is the greatest weapon we have.

Track 3:  Play The Part

For me, the greatest experience in songwriting is when the songs write themselves.  And with "Play The Part," that's exactly what happened.  The line, "I'll be your lover or your friend, but I won't play the part of both anymore" kept repeating in my head all day, and when I put it to music, the song just sort of… happened.  I can't explain how because it just did.  I also can't explain who this song is about, because I have no idea.  But I kind of like the mystery - maybe one day I'll discover the story behind it.

Track 2:  I Love You, Too

Inspiration for songs comes from everywhere - and not everything is written about real-life scenarios.  The second song on this EP is based off of a love story my friend wrote.  Something about the complicated relationship she created on paper inspired me.  The couple was perfect for each other but for reasons beyond their control, it couldn't work.  This song is about holding onto memories when you can no longer hold onto the person the memories are about.  And most importantly, the way their voice sounded as they said, "I love you."

Track 1: Reckless

There was an open mic that I would drive to every week with my friend Kim.  Since it was a little bit of a drive, we would have our iPods set to the "West Bend Playlist" and our windows wide open.  Which, I'm still convinced, is the reason why my passenger side window no longer rolls up.  We'd sing at the top of our lungs as we drove, a little too fast, through the winding back roads of Wisconsin and laugh the whole way.  I'd play music to strangers I'd never met before and they became my friends for the evening.  And we'd all have Bob Dylan sing alongs on the sidewalk with the drunks stumbling out of bars.  I don't think I've ever smiled or laughed so much in life.  I learned a lot of things that summer, but one thing will always stick out in my mind: Be reckless.
