FAWM FIVE

I'm a songwriter from Richmond, VA and am so excited to have brought some super inspiring songwriting friends along for the ride for the second year in a row… and they have grown our local group even more. How do people who aren’t musicians make friends??

Also, I’m probably going to come thru with comparisons in my comments. Please let me know if that’s not welcome.

Last four years I managed to eek out 10 (11 last two years with a collab). Maybe I can keep up with myself?

Grateful for this project. Looking forward to hearing more from everyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to and comment on "The Mica in the Stone" -- I appreciate what you had to say, and vow to be less scared of the high notes. ;)

Welp. I’m a huge fan and glad I stumbled upon your songs. Have you ever heard of Jen Wood? Some of your melodies and writing remind me of her older stuff. She is one of my favorites. Anyway..yeah great songs @jennakole! Would love maybe to collaborate on something next FAWM if possible. 🙂

Thanks for listening to my song "Did I Imagine It" and taking the time to leave a comment. Thank you so much for the kind words, Jenna. Means so much.

And when you said you could see yourself asking the local DJ to play it so your record to put the lyrics in your journal... 🤣🤣🤣

How many times did I sit by my radio waiting for that song that reminded me of my Crush so I could write down the lyrics and remember them better???

You brought back a fond memory. Thank you. ☺️

thank you! Always getting those Cranberries comparisons, I impersonated Dolores in a tribute band one year 😁

oooooh cool!!!!!! Celebrating my 40th by making people listen to me yap with my guitar sounds like a good deal, haha (except I haven't performed live in an embarrassing number of years, so...we'll see!) BUT YES I AM GOING TO EMAIL YOUUUUUU so we can connect regardless!

And thank you for the kind words about my songs so far and about my album theme. 🥺👉👈 WAY more fun than the concept album I did last year (about ex-boyfriends, lollll, literally went a little insane during and after that one, ha!)

Thank you Jenna! The stacked "girls" was my favorite part. Now I am thinking I should have done it more!!! I guess I wanted it to be a little bit of a jolt you know - but you really do have me thinking. Thanks so much for noticing that part of the song 😍

Love your style. It's kind of what I want to be except I'm addicted to pop formats (working on that). Will send "appropriate" (I'm joking) music as soon as I can.

Thanks for your wonderful comments on "Ordinary Time!" The spiritual shift from Catholic to [anything else really] happened through much of my family, each in our own ways. And it is tough; you're right about that. I like your idea about the arrangement getting big and then small again. I may play with that.

Thank you!

"And you know it’s gay cuz i dunno if I wanna be you or bone you or both." The queer dilemma!! Who can say?? You obviously feel me. ;)

inserts "these are my gifts!!" gif right here

Um, also, you're in Richmond?? And you're referencing having a community of musician and songwriter friends? Please teach me your ways! (by which I mean, I'm also in Richmond and a sad lil lonely musical potato, plz send halp.) <3

Just noticed you're in Richmond. VCU is my alma mater and my brother lives just outside Richmond these days.

Okay the fact that there isn't more to say about your production speaks volumes into how talented you are. Just...wow.
