Her new CD captures Nora’s unique vocal quality that is both sensitive and upbeat. Every track is radio friendly and much like her personality “My Radio” brings a positive energy that you will want to add to your Summer playlist. “Only the Beginning” is an acoustic collection which puts an emphasis on lyrics by only featuring vocals, guitar and fiddle. Her sophomore album “Run Away With Me” was partially recorded in Nashville and included some of the finest touring musicians in the country. Nora has gained national recognition with her recent music videos “My Radio” and “Dimples Filled With Lies” airing on Zuus Country cable channel. Featured on local affiliates of the major television networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, and nationally on Country Music Television (CMT), she has received critical acclaim for her songs and videos.
