BCCMA Country Music Awards 2025 Nominee!

The next day, I wanted to tell the world of this incredible opportunity that has been given to me. So I told my bass player, Doug Thorsteinson; my lead guitarist, Gary Brewer; and one of my best buddies, who has been one of my biggest supporters throughout my music journey and dreams.

It took a day to come down off the high to a place where I remembered that the email stated to keep this quiet until the official notice came from the BCCMA headquarters. So back to everybody to say, hush hush, sweet Charlotte. LOL.

Now I sit here having received further notice that this nomination is confirmed, and I am flooded with emotions — from joy, to excitement, to humility, to tears. My heart is racing once again. Now back to the computer to tell the world.

I am forever grateful to all of those in my life who have helped me along my journey to get to this place. I write this in disbelief of how far I have come since my first appearance on stage eight years ago at a local open mic.

I started my musical journey at the age of 61 with a dream of grand things and an unwavering belief in my future possibilities.

Believe in the universe. Believe in possibilities. Never say you are too old to accomplish your dreams.
