With Ellis she played bass on his single “Choo Choo Coming,” released by Knee High in May 2025, with Alex Leach on guitar, Gibson Davis on banjo and Christian Ward on fiddle. She had also played in the Shedhouse Trio with the guitarist Avery Welter and the banjo player Brady Wallen. When Nicholson, the former Balsam Range mandolin player, named her and Wallen to his touring band on 20 August 2026, Welter was already its guitarist, so the three were reunited; she plays bass and shares the harmony singing with Nicholson.
