Later my husband and I started playing in church where I became a lead singer in the choir. What a rush it is to sing with 100+ people behind you...what power that brings. I am always inspired by that, and by the sweet sounds of musicians playing from their spirit.<br /><br />I grew up listening to Journey, Styx, Boston, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Eagles...I could go on and on. These vocal bands not only taught me how to sing, they taught me all I needed to know about harmonies. I heard them, I picked them out and played around with them. I love singing lead but I find equal joy in parts too.<br /> <br />Honestly I am still a newbie and I am learning daily about my abilities as a songwriter and a vocalist. I am stretching myself into new genres and finding I can do so much more than my mind has lead me to believe. <br /><br />Music is a free expression of each individual.<br />I am finding my own freedom and loosing the fear of expressing it.<br />I hope you enjoy my music and I am thankful to have this place to share and enjoy others and their art as well.<br /><br />Currently I am singing back ups in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band and I am having a ball. <br />Check it out!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.reloadedrocks.com">www.reloadedrocks.com</a><br /><br />Just uploaded new music from ARMORED FLIGHT<span style="color: #ff0000;"><br /> </span></span></span></p>
