Not only will she mesmerize you with her guitar playing but her comedy will keep you in stitches. Though she writes many serious heart felt songs, she is especially blessed with the gift of writing comedy songs. Enough to have had several of her songs cut by major label comedy artist Cledus T. Judd. She has had her songs played by comedy DJ’s Bob and Tom among others.
