I’ve lived in the Chicagoland area my entire life and my passion for music covers a large spectrum. I love live music and get out at least once a month to see original music. I enjoy music festivals, great cuisine, farmers markets, professional wrestling, and last but not least, time with my family. My goal is to shine a light on marginalized groups in country and country-adjacent genres. Be sure to catch my features Roots and Rhythm and The Bluegrass Brunch on The Country Blend each weekend. I also co-host a food podcast, Fresh and Uncooked.
