This is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to travel in an all-female band and I have to say I’m really enjoying it. So many of us are used to being the only girl in the band, and we have sometimes had to find ways to be heard over the patriarchal musings that surface in any number of situations. But here, we’ve got each other’s backs and we are really getting to know and trust each other.

I am super excited to announce that next year I’m stepping into a new role (for me) as a music director and I’m going on tour!

Hello from Florida! Finally on a trip we’ve been trying to take for at least 2 years. The last time we were here was actually the last trip we took in Feb 2020 before… well you know. So we are back to visit for a couple days and trying to relax. It’s in the trying to relax part that I find the push/pull of what vacation really is.

How does one cope in the sensory overload that is known as Las Vegas? I’ve been roaming the aisles of casinos for the last couple days, not much of a gambler myself, but along for the ride with my parents and partner, all of whom enjoy the rush of winning vs losing and the dopamine hits from bling blang blung of joker wild poker, monopoly money grab, coyote moon or buffalo gamble.
