The 25-year-old St. Petersburg singer-songwriter recorded her debut EP, Beach Day, in Nashville. As the name implies, it's a sunny, euphoric blend of pop country and bluesy singer-songwriterdom, much in the vein of Miranda Lambert or Sunny Sweeney, though her stated influences hew more toward the pop side of the spectrum -- think Sheryl Crow, Natalie Imbruglia and Jack Johnson. - Tampa Bay Times
