Since 2019 she has released 3 albums on Brooklyn’s own Jalopy Records Label and all records have charted on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts during the first week of release.
The New Yorker called her most recent record _Long Time To Be Gon_e - “A disarming collection of traditional laments and exquisite banjo instrumentals”.
