Well, I’m back in Maryland preparing for my senior year of high school to start up. For the first time in twelve years of school I am actually ecstatic for the first day…even though I’m still riding the bus as a senior. Not cool.

Anyways, I spent the last two weeks of my summer in Nashville. In my last entry I detailed the first part of the trip. Now I’ll let you in on the second half! Last Saturday, the 21st, I played the Hootenanny at Westwood Studios in Nashville. David Malloy (my producer) puts it on and has really talented acts from all over come in and do two songs to show their stuff. I sang “Long, Long Time” by Linda Ronstadt and “Young As Me”…one of the songs that’s on my website! It went really well, I seemed to get good feedback. I’m hoping there is a video of it I can find to post up here for you all!

The rest of the week was sprinkled with writing sessions and meetings. My dad and I also went on a few college visits. I had a great trip to Nashville and can’t wait to be back mid-September!

Hey guys!!

This is going to be a short entry only because I’m currently in Nashville now and I’ll have much more to tell after I’m back home. My dad and I decided to drive down together to look at some colleges before reaching Nashville as our final destination. We visited Shenandoah, James Madison (which I loved!), Radford (another one I really liked), and Belmont (which is the one I really hope I go to!). We’re also going to be visiting Lipscomb and MTSU. Keep your fingers crossed for me! College is so scary, but exciting!!!

Yesterday, our first night in Nashville, my dad and I went out to the Wilson County Fair. Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE fairs! If there is one within a fifty mile radius, I’m there. I begged my dad to take me and he finally budged and did. We had a great time! I, of course, hit all the rides while my dad searched out his favorite carnival food. The best part of the night was the hypnosis show. My mind is still blown by it. Kudos to Michael Blaine. Definitely google him, he’s amazing!

Tonight I went to see my good friend D. Vincent Williams (an AMAZING writer) play at 3rd and Lindsley. I was so taken by every song he sang that I ended up crying through the whole show. I tried to hide it the best I could…but I have to admit I was pretty embarrassed! At the same time, it showed that his songs really moved me, and that’s the mark of an amazing songwriter, right?

More to come from Nashville! Love to you all!!

Hi everyone!!

First of all, let me preface by saying that everytime I perform outdoors ANYWHERE it pours down rain. I don’t even have to check the weather forecast anymore, I automatically expect the biggest downpour of the month. Oh and trust me, I was in Nashville the weekend of the mammoth flood. Over the past week, I have been in preparation for my big show at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. When I got to Baltimore yesterday evening I was shocked to see clear skies and no humidity. It looked like the show would be great!

My band and I played two twelve song sets filled with a lot of my favorite country songs like “Crazy”, “Before He Cheats”, “Gunpowder and Lead” etc…and of course we did some of my new songs, “Young as Me” and “New Guy”

The weather held up and the show was great! You can see the pictures that I put above. Also a huge thanks to all the new fans that I made! Please feel free to say a quick hi. I love getting messages from you!

At the end of the night, some of my friends that came down to cheer me on and my parents hit the Cheesecake Factory for some much-needed sustenance and then headed back to Bel Air to hit our beds!

Great night, great show, great people, great…everything!

Thanks for my favorite performance yet

Hi everyone!

I thought it was a good time to finally update! This past weekend, my family and I went to visit my grandparents in Bethany Beach, Delaware. It’s a cute, little beach town that borders Ocean City, Maryland. We had a fun trip with my cousins and friends that happened to be down there this weekend too. It was nice to have a vacation weekend. It’s my first vacation this summer…and I was certainly excited for it!

An article about me will be in Friday’s “Live” Section of the Baltimore Sun. It will probably talk about my upcoming show (Saturday at the Baltimore Inner Harbor) and my life since AGT. If you do not live in the Baltimore area, you can probably catch the article on the Sun’s website!

I have added two new shows as well. I’ll be playing the Westwood Hootenanny in Nashville on August 21st. It’s a really fun show! I played it back in May. A group of talented musicians of all styles performs short, acoustic, two-song sets in a really relaxed and pretty setting. I’ll probably post a video from that

Also, I’m playing the End of the Row TJ Martell Fundraiser in Nashville on September 16th. Again, it will be only a song or two, but I’m definitely excited about it. It’s a great event.

That’s the latest on my end of things! New stuff soon!
