I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be releasing an album done with my good friend; Joey Singer. I first met Joey when I was a student at Indiana University School of Music when I walked into the music lounge on the 4th floor of the Music Annex, asked if anyone there wanted to be my accompanist and Joey’s hand went up. From that moment, a friendship began. I had no idea at the time just how amazing an accompanist he was, but it didn’t take long to find out. After IU we went...

For several years, I have noticed that the hymns have been fading from the use in churches.  They have been replaced with praise choruses & songs by contemporary Christian artists.  While these songs certainly have their place in worshipping God, the hymns still contain some beautiful melodies & lyrics filled with meaning and depth that bring an element to worship that is different than the more contemporary music.Having said that, I understand why hymns are fading from our...

After pouring my heart out for a full year on my last album "On Broken Glass", I just really needed to do something light and fun.  My heart needed to sing! So, I chose songs that lift my spirit and take me away from the ordinary - far far from those heavy trials that are such a part of life's journey.  I cannot express to you how very grateful I am that these wonderful songs were written & published and even more grateful that I am permitted to sing them, record them and put...

It seems every day, I hear of yet another person facing some new nightmare in their lives.  And much too often, I hear of how they have decided that the struggle is just too hard and they are giving up.  During those times in my own life when getting through each day was so hard, occassionally I would run across a song that would lift me up or speak to my heart that someone out there understood what I was feeling.  Those songs would encourage me to keep on keeping on - to put...

This is some of the most wonderful music ever written and incredibly fun to sing!  The words are real and meet people right where they live their lives.  The thoughts expressed in these songs are as true today as they were the day they were written and the melodies have a quality that feeds something deep in the human spirit.  They are as if our very souls were crying out from the deepest emotion of the human heart.  There is such freedom in these songs.  Freedom to...

This album was recorded many, many years ago.  It was my very first album and when I recorded it, I wasn't sure if it might be my only album.  It was originally recorded with a side A & a side B.  The first side was contemporary Christian and the other side were secular songs I liked to sing including a song I wrote for my children to express how they have blessed my life.  I didn't know at the time that more children would be joining our family.  
I had...
