RECORDINGS

"She's not one to shy away from a challenge in both her lyrics and her music, and it makes for a daringly memorable batch of songs."

​

-CD Baby Review,

Making Friends with Ghosts

​

​

From 2005-2010, I independently recorded, produced, and released five full-length albums using one microphone, an 8-track recorder, and the very best in makeshift bricolage. Each album was lovingly engineered on a nonexistent budget, with the help of a slew of talented friends on strings, woodwinds, brass, accordion, and more.

Having no gifts to bring, I stayed up all night into the wee hours, recording my family's favorite carols.
