“Tequila Knows Me” is the kind of bold, carefree anthem that demands to be blasted during a night out with your best friends.
A Fresh Sound from a Powerhouse Voice

Her music has taken her everywhere … from Canada Day celebrations and the Calgary Stampede to Indigenous Day Live … and earned airplay on major Canadian country stations. Now, she’s bringing that same energy to her latest release.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
