TRILOGY family & friends...
The past three and a half years with you all have been nothing short of amazing. What started as a three piece acoustic trio grew into a family of 5 of the most talented, weird, funny, and caring musicians and for that I am truly grateful. This group has been through it all together and I personally could not thank these guys enough for being the best big brothers I never had (Sean is only 3 months younger than me so just go with it lol). When the acoustic group started, the plan was to do a couple Thursday/Sunday gigs here and there locally and just fill the music void that I had been missing since college. Well we all know the saying, “Man plans, and God laughs.” Just nine months later, our acoustic trio became a full band which meant more than just Thursdays and Sundays. When the band started, I told the guys that I would give them two years and would play a handful of shows a month. Again, God laughed and I’m pretty sure he thought it was hysterical. Our local Southern Maryland band would go on to play ~300 shows over the next three years in 5 different states (that’s a lot of time crammed in a van with four dudes… just saying LOL). The experiences we have had together on stage and off have been nothing short of incredible. From playing in front of thousands at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York to the packed streets filled with all of our family and friends at Rocktoberfest in our hometown. I wouldn’t trade these last three and a half years for anything and I am forever grateful for each and every one of you for making this the experience of a lifetime. With all of these shows, as many musicians know, comes a lot of sacrifices - especially with family. I have missed birthdays, anniversaries, soccer games, concerts, vacations, you name it. And while I love sharing my passion on stage and performing, I feel like the time has come for me to slow down and make the most of the big life moments happening now. As most of you know, Daniel and I got engaged back in September and we are so excited to take this next step in our lives. What most of you do not know is that recently after getting engaged we found out that we were expecting. In just one week, two of the biggest life events occurred and it solidified my decision to take a step back and focus on our now growing family. Unfortunately, the timing was not right for us and on September 26th I suffered a miscarriage – my second in three and a half years. I have gone back and forth, rewriting this post, trying to decide whether to share something so private and personal with so many of you. I decided to be open about it not for sympathy but because so many others have silently suffered the same fate. As this happened, I found myself feeling ashamed and at fault and it has taken some time for that weight to be lifted. So for anyone else going through it, please know that you are not alone, it is not your fault and I am here if you ever want to chat. With all of this being said, it is bittersweet for me to say that I will be sticking to the decision of stepping down from fronting TRILOGY at the end of this year. Many of you can already guess or have heard rumors of what direction the band will be heading in and I am excited to announce/confirm that Tara Rae will be joining the group starting January 1st, 2020. She is another super talented female singer from Southern Maryland and I am so excited to see the TRILOGY family continue to grow. Please be on the lookout for our post containing the schedule for our remaining shows this year. I would love to see as many of your beautiful faces as I can before my last full band show on NYE. I want to give a huge heartfelt thank you to all of those that have supported us through the years – venue owners and clubs, our agency Starleigh Entertainment, and of course each and every one of our friends and family. I especially want to thank Daniel (Juan Soto) for being both housewife and superdad while supporting me doing what I love and piling up a never ending stack of laundry 😉 Cheers to the last three and a half years, and here’s to making this the best month yet!!
