As a young woman, she left to travel across the United States, by way of thumb or freight train, playing music wherever her feet carried her. Soon, music carried her to the alluring City of New Orleans. New Orleans inspired her to improve her song writing and guitar playing skills. Traveling around the country, relying on busking as an income, allowed her time to craft her own unique sound.
