You Can be a FiddleStar

I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.

<p>This awesome girl had a birthday party with @hattiebs and funfetti cake and an outdoor screening of the greatest movie ever filmed. No, not Citizen Kane. That’s dumb. Daddy and Them is the greatest movie ever filmed and I’ll fight anyone who tries to say otherwise. Thanks to Kerrie and Deanie for beautiful hostessing.. #happybirthdayjess #daddyandthem  (at Burns, Tennessee)</p>

<p>At the end of each #nashvillesongwritercamp the winning co-writer group gets to record a demo of the song they created. Our favorite amazing engineer @brandonbostic brings in his mobile studio and teaches everyone about recording demos in a home studio setting and also records that demo. It’s a wonderful experience and this year’s song was a real gem. All the co-writer groups had really successful songs but everyone agreed this one was special. The writers were Merrill Burch, Gene Banks, and The Leo Hickman. They were coached by Jon Weisberger. #songwriter #nashville #demos  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Holy wow. We got mentioned in @southwestmagazine which is the fantastic magazine in the seat pocket of our very favorite @southwestair planes. We didn’t even ask to be included. They found us! A few years ago @adamspickoftheday had the bright idea to expand what I was already doing with FiddleStar Camps and add other instruments, starting with flatpick guitar, and this adventure has changed our lives. And now Southwest Magazine seems to think we’re worthy of inclusion in a little story they did about living your wildest dreams. Funny thing, we like to think that’s what we’re all about. Thank you so much to everyone who has been so supportive of what we do up here in our house on the Ridge… #nashvilleacousticcamps #nashvilleflatpickcamp #flatpicking #liveyourdreams #yesman #iflyswa  (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)</p>

I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my working life - I recently gave my notice to the Pam Tillis organization and will no longer be touring with her or Lorrie Morgan (on their awesome Grits and Glamour Tour). I must admit, I'm sad to be leaving. It's been an incredible four years and I have learned so much. Thanks to Pam, her amazing husband/manager Matt Spicher, and my bandmates, especially the lovely and talented Mary Sue Englund, with whom I spent more time over the last few years than I did with my husband. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it...
