I wouldn't call myself a woman in bluegrass. I haven't really been a part of the world for a while. It's just been a big influence on who I am today.

There was a band in San Diego, Bluegrass Etc, that played a weekly gig. My parents would take my brother and me every Saturday night for 7 or 8 years. Sean and I started taking lessons with them and they gave us a great foundation in bluegrass instrumentation. They were the lens through which I saw music for a very long time.
