Even as little as a year ago, I would be amazed if I had found out I would be playing in Berklee Instant Strings on the same stage as these high-caliber groups at the Newport Folk Festival. It was such a thrilling, awe-inspiring, dream-come-true experience-I spent the weekend with really great people and I am very grateful that Greg Liszt offered this amazing opportunity to us.

Newport Folk and Berklee Instant Strings have given me a taste of what I'm working towards, and I'm more inspired than ever.
