Here's episode 16 of The Hexagon: A Podcast For Singer-Songwriters.  It's a podcast about 6 aspects of being a singer-songwriter today (songwriting, performing, recording, business, growth, and life).  This month, Jess Nolan and I sit down for a talk...we discuss some of the following, and a lot more.

• Writing with musicians that don't usually write
• Sequencing her first few tours
• Winning Lightning 100's Music City Big Break competition, being a finalist in the Road to Roo competition, and getting an Artist of the Week feature
• Stretching as a keyboardist -- taking solos when it's not comfortable
• Private vs Public Persona
