Description:
I started out singing in church at an early age and from then on music became a major part of my life. I grew up in a very musical family so love for music was something we all shared. Through the years my love for singing and performing became greater and greater. Singing music I enjoyed and serving the Lord was something I loved and still love to do. Although I’ve tried many types of music, I never found my true place until I sang my first bluegrass song. I was thrilled with the sound, warmth, and just the feeling that bluegrass music gave me.
Keeping with my roots and my love for gospel music, this was a great opportunity to keep doing a few wonderful bluegrass gospel songs in almost every show. I owe so much to my wonderful family. Mom and Dad hauled me everywhere and I never heard them complain. God truly blessed me and still blesses me with all the love and support I need to keep moving on. Now, two of the greatest blessings in my life are my husband, Thom, and our precious little boy, Halen. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the excitement in our little man’s eyes when he gets on stage with his tiny guitar.
Being a part of this group is by far the best thing I’ve ever done in my music career. These guys have taught me so much and I have grown to love them and their families like I do my own. I have high hopes for Carrie Hassler and Hard Rain and know that with dedication, hard work, and our unique sound, the sky’s the limit. I love this music, I love this group, and I wish everyone could hear us and feel the same way. If we never get any further than we are right now, we will still keep on doing what we love and I will always be happy knowing I found my place and thankful for the amazing folks I’ve met along the way. |
