Donna is an award-winning songwriter whose music has been recorded by some of the biggest names in bluegrass. During our conversation, we discovered we have quite a bit in common—from being North Carolina natives to working as Real Estate Agents and licensed contractors!

We also dive into the story behind one of her most well-known songs, "Poor Old Heart," and how it found its way onto the iconic Lonely Runs Both Ways album by Alison Krauss and Union Station.

You won't want to miss the stories, the songwriting insights, and the journey behind the music.
