One More Item Marked Off the Bucketlist


I have always loved music and have been singing since before I could officially talk (at least according to my mom). I grew up watching musicals, then performing in choir and musicals in high school. Afterwards though, I stopped and started focusing on other things, and I feel like I lost a piece of myself in the process. 

Finally, as of this last May, I started singing again with my best friend's dad. He has been playing and performing in bands off and on for the last 50 years and is an extremely talented guitar player, but hadn't been playing for a little while for the same reasons, and was in need of a vocalist. My friend suggested me, and The Songbird and the Axeman was born. 

Last month we finally had our first two concerts, and I loved it. Singing makes me feel so alive, and I can't believe I'm actually getting paid to do something I enjoy so much. I've wanted to do this for years, and I finally am. 

Dreams do come true. ❤️

Until next time,

The Songbird
