Since retiring from her career as a School Social Worker in 2004, Nancy has been able to devote more time to performing and composing music. Retirement has also allowed her the time to perform regularly at local nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Nancy's solo CD, entitled In Folk-Us, was released in 2003. Nancy is available for special events, public and private bookings; for everything from birthdays, anniversaries and back-yard barbeques to St. Patrick's Day celebrations. If swing tunes and old standards from the 30's and 40's are your cup of tea, Nancy is now playing with an ensemble consisting of fiddle, mandolin and upright bass to support her guitar and vocals.
