The Front Porch feat. Kayanna Ottaway aka Annie . Hey that's Me. I play a variety of genres but mostly Women Of Coutry, Folk and Americana. I am also part of the Conneaut Creek String Band. I have been playing since I won my first guitar which is signed by Leann Rimes ( Who I grew up with her, so pretty awesome) from GAC Superfan contest I have been blessed to make some really neat friends along my musical journey. I started out at Beth Edward Gospel Jam, connected Mary Lou Karr' who helped me grow so much and helped me be able to play out in font of people. She gave me opportunities to play and will always be grateful. Marylou took me to song circle at The Musical Petting Zoo here in Corry PA where I played and became friends with so many local musicans. I met the Front Porch Rockers there and just love them so much. I have been playing at local open mics, song groups, festivals and Coffee Houses. I look forward to my new journey as a band member with CCSB and also as a dj and Producer here at WWCB. I cannot wait till all this COVId and Unrest settles down enough for us to be out jammin together again. By the way this was the first time I ever played on radio, which was so neat and If you want to give it a try, Come On Over to THE Front Porch
