The ride is over
How is it over already? Boot camp: training camp for learning various types of skills This week has certainly lived up to it’s definition, but far exceeded my expectations. There was undoubtedly a LOT of learning going on here, on so many levels. From the speakers, from the faculty, and from each other. With all…

Well, boot camp has come to an end. I learned a great many things over our week here. I learned so much about the music business. I also learned that bringing 4 guitars to camp is a bit overkill, and bringing one pair of socks was not enough. I have so much to think about…

Second last day of Project WILD Boot Camp 2017. It’s been a crazy fun week, with a ton of info absorbed, notes taken, pictures and of course some social media. There have been late nights (we are all still tired from staying up until 4 getting drum tracks on the second night), sunny skies and…

It’s hard to capture in words what it feels like to be embraced and cradled by people you’ve just met. People who have inspired you to take one more small step forward. I am such a fan of alk the other artists as well as the amazing musicians and industry people I’ve had the pleasure…

Day 4 – Well I was able to finally get to sleep after my showcase and it was the best sleep I have had at camp so far, and i think most of it was due to the fact that I didn’t have my showcase set hanging over me, and was able to truly let…
