Within 5 weeks she had secured an opening slot (for Nick Lowe) at the famed Birchmere Music Hall and had been selected as a NERFA Folk -DJ Showcase Artist by DC Radio Icon Mary Cliff. Other career highlights include being invited on stage by Bob Dylan (after an impromptu street audition earlier that day), and performing as a guest vocalist for The Chieftains at Boston Symphony Hall.
