Just Keep Writing

It has been quite a while since my last post. I have been super busy lately! But rest assured, I have not placed my musical ventures on the back burner, as I have done in the past. Recently I have been diving into my musical lifestyle headfirst! A few weeks ago, I began playing at a local venue called Stable Studio during their Open Jam nights and I love it! The venue is amazing and the people are so helpful. And I'm slowly getting over my stage fright! I officially have six performances under my belt since I first began playing at the open mic night at the Players Pub! It gets easier every time. But now, I have a new challenge. I have to learn how to play standing up. Why, you might ask? Well, because I have been asked to play an opening set. Nothing has been finalized by any means, but I'm still super stoked. And on top of all that, I'm still trying to work on some co-writes. And top of all of that I've met someone pretty amazing. So, all in all, life is good right n...

This is just a little something I starter writing during my lunch break last week. It's supposed to be an upbeat, summery, country party song. I'll Drink To That © 2012 Chelsey Sears Here's to summer weekends Wearin' flip flops Dancin' 'round a bonfire In a pair of cut-offs Blowin' up the speakers With Hank and Johnny Cash I'll drink to that Here's to road trips To only God knows where Just fillin' up the tank And taking it from there Don't check the glove box 'Cause you won't find no maps Yeah I'll drink to that Just live in the moment 'Cause the best memories Are ones made when you are Flyin' by the seat Of your pants when you let loose And stop holdin' back Yeah I'll drink to that Here's to the morning after A hard break up When you open the curtains See the sun And realize his leavin' might Not be so bad No it's not so bad I'll drink to that Just live in t...
