Favorite concert attended?
I saw Brandi Carlile in 2015 solo at some random theater in Florida. She is my biggest musical influence and being able to see her in a setting that’s so similar to my set up was magical.
Who are you most looking forward to seeing at Summerville Solstice?
I am so excited to see all the amazing vendors! As someone who also has an earring business and vends in the summer, it’s right up my alley 🙂
You can only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what is it?
