2017 has been quite a year for Hawaiian born singer-songwriter JoLivi, who released two singles – “Take a Shot” and most recently “Crooked Crown” – and is currently working on her debut country EP. But before she arrived in Nashville, this native of the Aloha State had to make the move from the west coast to Music City. Knowing such a trip cross country had all the makings of an incredible journey, she documented the multi-state road trip in photos.
Check out her “Road to Nashville Photo Diary” below,
complete with captions from JoLivi about each moment.
