Firefly by Blue Ridge Betty
This album captures a period of time filled with uncertainty, longing, and hope. After Hurricane Helene ravaged our community in Western NC, feelings that I never confronted before came bubbling to the surface. I coped by writing songs. I stopped caring how my musical ideas or words might be judged.
So I shared these songs with my friends, who encouraged me and lent me their creative ideas, time, and musicianship.
I have endless love and gratitude for everyone involved.
They're our songs now! I'm so proud of what we made.
~Lindsey
