about
Thank you for visiting us! Foxfire Variety is the idea of sharing stories, history, music and mountain ways with the world. My family is from the Great Smoky Mountains. I grew up spending an amazing amount of time in those beautiful places. I have always wanted to have a place to share my love for the region with others. After my father passed away, I felt pushed more than ever to create something. He loved the color green and showed me the foxfire when I was little. I felt it was an appropriate idea to call this Foxfire Variety. It is not affiliated with any other Foxfire, as there are many others using the same phrasing or words. I have been surprised to learn of many who honor Appalachia by Foxfire. Perhaps it is a universal way to know we all shine. If you would like to share or contribute to this project, please use our contact form. We would love to hear from you.
A little about me, 'the knoxville girl...'
I was raised in Knoxville, TN & have been inspired by the beauty of the region my entire life. Mountain stories inspire & are the heritage to the people of Appalachia. Some of the things I create are based on truth...others are mixed with tales and superstition. My writing has been recorded by US artists and internationally. I have written in genres from rock to Christian to bluegrass, and even have some jingles out there playing in the US and in Asia.
I have worn many hats in my life so far, being a mother is the absolute best! However, I have traveled pretty much everywhere (cue some Cash...) and have been everything thing from a costumier, to make up artist to media and marketing consultant. I have pockets full of memories and stories that need to be inked to paper, still...and notebooks needing notes! I love this journey called life and if you are an old soul, let's make some music!
