Hmm...I LOVE the girls - Shawn Colvin, Sarah, Alanis, Jennifer Knapp, Bonnie Raitt...and the list goes on. Of course, John Mayer, U2 and the Eagles rock as well...Even though I'm a piano player myself, I love guitar driven stuff, and that's a lot of what I write. Worship influences would include Rita Springer, Matt Redman, Jamie Smith and David Crowder.
ALBUMS: Transcending Worship: A Beautiful Journey From Here to There (lead vocals, bgv's, writer) Transcending Christmas: A Beautiful Journey From Heaven to Earth (lead vocals, bgv's, writer) Sun Grove Community Church: A Step Closer (lead vocals, bgv's, writer)
The most important things to know about me...I'm married to a wonderful man who also just happens to be my producer...Rich Stevens. I'm the mother of the most talented future rock star around, CJ. In this mother's unbiased opinion, of course. And my daughter Jessica will either be that or a broadway star...as soon as she makes up her mind. Oh, and lest I forget, the true divas of the house...Ginger and Twix, our cats we rescued as kittens from certain doom. :) My family is most important to me...I can't imagine life without them.
Worship is a way of life to me. It's not just something you 'do'. Every moment of every day is meant to reflect the glory of our Creator; this story we are in is not our own. Being ever mindful of that is my prayer everyday; the music flows from that place and is simply another way to express my worship to my God. Currently, I worship with the community at Journey Ecclesia in Franklin, TN.
As far as the music goes, for the past 15 years, I've led worship and performed at retreats, churches, conventions and festivals. It's been my privilege over the years to share either stage or studio or to write with many talented individuals, including Helen Baylor, Mary-Kathryn, Paul Buono, Bob Kilpatrick, Dayna Varga, Drew Cline, Debi Selby, Charlie Judge, Jason Eskridge, Missi Hale, Amy Courts, Travis Meadows and Will Derryberry...and others.
Thanks for stopping by...I pray you are blessed and encouraged in your journey.
MY SON'S BAND
Proud mother that I am, I have to include my son's musical endeavors. Currently, his band is working with producer Andy Selby (Josh Groban, Nicole C Mullen, CiCi Winans) and Kevin Beamish (REO Speedwagon, Kenny Chesney) on 'The Chucksteak EP'. Must be a teenage thing... :) These boys are talented, and are having a ball!
