‘Music’
Portugal. The Man, Chance The Rapper, & Me!
Apr. 19, 2015—So I met Portugal. The Man and Chance The Rapper...in the same weekend.
Running the Extra Mile
Dec. 17, 2014—There are so many different ways to enjoy a Vanderbilt class. An awesome professor, an engaging subject or topic, inspiring and industrious peers - you name it. Something which can frequently add a lot to what you get out of a class - and is simply often not duly recognized - is an "extra-credit" assignment. The reason why these tasks can get so interesting is because they can be such a contrast to our everyday work in the class.
So Nashville: Full Moon Pickin’ Party
Sep. 8, 2014—The finest bluegrass in all the land is found under the full moon. Yes indeed, a pure Tennessee treasure is the Pickin' Party, held in the summer moonlight at the Percy Warner Park.
Meloroo 2014
Apr. 19, 2014—The following is a co-written post by bloggers Caitlyn and me (Victoria). We’ve just returned from Saturday night’s Melodores concert. It was, of course, fantastic!

When I attended in October last semester, the theme of the evening was “fairy tales,” including a piece from the musical “Into the Woods.” Tonight’s theme...
Performing at the Ryman
Dec. 19, 2013—My friend E. had sent me an email asking me whether I was still in Nashville on December 11-12, and due to Finals, I replied with a yes. She then asked me whether I would be interested in playing a show. Of course! I can't believe that my first ever non-classical music performance was for Andrew Peterson's show "Behold the Lamb of God"!
