专辑简介

This album is a collection of memories and stories. I probably should have titled this album “therapy” but somehow the shoebox collection seemed more poetic! Ever since high school, I have saved everything in shoeboxes. My dad designed shoes, so I never had a shortage of boxes, (or shoes!) Those boxes, now torn and tattered, could include anything from high school firsts , my best friend’s wedding, or the birth of my children… every event has a box. My high school senior year is tucked away in a macy’s shoebox full of ocean city memories, photo booth strips, and pictures taken on the beach. A red velvet shoebox holds tiny white baby shoes, red dog and baby duck pacifiers, and warm reminders of the amazing moments when i became a mommy. This shoebox tradition was my way of holding onto a memory. I have also found that I could give life to those memories through music. Through singing and writing, I have tucked those milestones, those moments, into these songs. When I moved to Nashville over a decade ago, I fell in love with the art of songwriting. It is a journey deep into the soul, where the heart holds onto those times that define you. If my heart were a shoebox, then this album would be the anthology of the stories it holds; the laughter, the hurt, the loss, and most importantly, the love, that inspired this collection of songs.
