Succession Sundays: Live Music with Carly Schoening

From our friend Carly:

“I am 19 years old and I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. Music is always what I’ve wanted to do with my life. At the age of 6 I started writing songs, although, they definitely weren’t masterpieces. After begging my parents for a guitar they got me one for my 10th birthday and I fell in love. However, when I couldn’t figure out how to play it I reached out to the custodian at my elementary school. His name was Mr. Anderson and without him I’m not sure I’d even be playing today. He not only taught me how to play guitar, but he also encouraged me, which is more than I could ever ask for. When I was 11 I started to sing at places and I guess I just never stopped. I just graduated high school in June from Cashmere High School and intend on playing music instead of going to college, at least for now. Being a successful musician is my dream and I don’t think I’ll ever stop fighting for it.”
