What I'm Listening To:

I'm listening to my very good friend from high school, Rachel Sonderegger Koller. (AKA Rachel Ann) As previously stated, Rory is playing with her August 3rd and the Velour!

Everyone should go like her on Facebook. Seriously. Go HERE to do so.

You should severely consider coming to the show. It's August 3rd at the Velour. (Have I mentioned that already?) Doors open at 8pm. Admission is $6.

Back when I was musical, Rachel and I played duets together. She could sing my face off. I have always felt humbled by her talent. She is releasing her debut album and I am SO excited for her to be following her passion. Since, Rory has been practicing for her show, I've been able to get a sneak-peek of her songs. Let me just tell you: The album and the show are going to beMARVELOUS. I highly recommend following her musical career with me.
