“SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS” HITS #15
Carly’s first single, a cover of John Denver’s classic tune “Sunshine On My Shoulders”, was released to radio nationwide in mid July. It’s had a great run on AC radio so far, hitting #15 multiple weeks, and staying Top 20 for over 10 weeks now.

“Tug Of War” was co-written by Carly and myself, and I produced, mixed, and performed all the instruments on both songs at my studio The WineCellar. You can listen to either song at my myspace here.
