| Influences | TONY BOOTH!!!, Bobby Flores who produced my first album and a FREEKING ROCKIN' musician and singer!!!, Jake Hooker who can make a hardwood floor honky tonk outta the dirt floor of a livestock arena!!!!!!!, Connie Smith, Faron Young, Marty Robbins's passion!!, Johnnie Bush, Dottie West, Patsy Cline, did I say Bobby Flores FREEKING ROCKS already?, Dugg Collins, Johnny Bush, Justin Trevino, Curtis Potter and sooooo many more!!
I am not influenced by Nashville right now (sorryguys!) because I am a Texas girl. I prefer traditional hardwood floor honky tonk, beer drinkin' country! I'm a sucker for twin fiddles and a steel guitar!! I consider them the "feel" section of the band!
I also love hard core RockNRoll. Lit, Nickelback are two of the more modern groups I like but I really love the old heavy metal from the 80s. I am aware that makes me a total dork but I don't care!! :)
Woodstock had a huge influence on me even though I wasn't alive in the 60s. I watched the movie they made from actual footage for the first time Aug 19, 2005 and I found myself incredibly inspired by the passionate performances of the artists!! I feel it changed my life as a performer forever.

| Sounds Like | Honky tonk! I'd like to think I have a unique sound and voice but I am very careful not compromise that classic sound of traditional country/western swing. I want every song I sing to capture the essence of artists like Dotty West, Ray Price, Faron Young, Darrell McCall, Johnny Bush, Ray Charles, Tony Booth, Connie Smith, Curtis Potter, Dugg Collins, Leona Williams and so many more.
