Academy of Western Artists Award Ceremony, Fort Worth, TX
This was my second time to win the Western Female Vocalist of the Year Award from the Academy of Western Artists! What makes this award so meaningful to me is that DJs select the Top-5 nominees in every category, so I am so grateful for their affirmation of me and my music.
CD Release Party for Desert Rose, Albuquerque, NM
Albuquerque friends and fan came out and they were ready to be entertained by the new songs on my Desert Rose album. It was so wonderful to once again have Jim Jones accompany me.

Western Writers of America - Stagecoach Script Reading
A slight deviation from music, but here I am as Mrs. Lucy Mallory in a script reading of Stagecoach at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Western Writers of America. Jim Jones, who sometimes accompanies me in music, was the very attentive Mr. Hatfield. Under the capable direction of Emmy-winning producer and director, Kirk Ellis, we were a hit in Kansas City!
Fiddler's Dream, Phoenix
|
Janice Deardorff and I teamed up and took "Women of the West" on the road to Phoenix. Music is therapy and we both needed the healing it brings--I was recovering from a torn pec muscle and Janice the loss of a family member--but the show must go on and we're the better for it! It's always an appreciative and warm audience at Fiddler's Dream.

San Carlos Apache Reservation, Peridot, AZ
It was a privilege to provide music at this Memorial Rodeo held by my good friends the Preston's who lost their son the previous year. "Chuck" was well-known in the team roping circles as well as an accomplished artist and traditional dancer. My Vision Across the Range album includes a song I wrote in his honor called "Roger Dale" which was Chuck's given name. The photo is with my friend Rick Uhl who accompanied me on guitar and backup vocals.
