PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
Miner's Candle - Short Film - 2022
Our Short Film, Miner's Candle, is based on the song co-written by Manuela Schneider and me and is on my Mile After Mile album. In the film, I play a singer in a circa 1880's saloon and perform, of course, our song Miner's Candle. This film has garnered over a dozen awards from several film festivals including the prestigious Barcelona International Film Festival in Spain. Click on each photo to enlarge.

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.

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.

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.
