Hello blog,
I will make this brief.
As some of you may know, last year I recorded an album.
It was a really fun experience and I found it extremely therapeutic to finally get my songs recorded and sounding good.
I have released three of these songs to my Bandcamp page already.
I had originally planned to hold a Release Party to welcome my album into the public with a BANG!
Unfortunately, due to circumstances, this still hasn't happened.
Because I haven't played any gigs this year, I feel like my music doesn't matter anymore.
I've forgotten the chords and lyrics to my own songs.
I cannot play them or sing them very well anymore.
It is disheartening.
I have had a lot going on this year with working full-time, family problems, wedding planning, church commitments.
I just don't seem to have time for my music anymore.
So I just wanted to say this, when I finally release my album, and I WILL release it, it will likely be the last of my music you will hear for awhile.
Even though my dream is to be a musician and make my living by writing and playing music, this dream seems to grow fainter everyday.
I feel that I should take a step back and re-access what I want to do in the future.
Maybe I'll be content just being a wife and, eventually, a mother.
Maybe I'll teach my kids to play music and start a band with them.
In any case, thank you to everyone for supporting my music til now.
It means the world to me.
Recording my album 'Sweeping Statements' has been a life-long dream of mine.
Thank you for helping me get there.
