KJ Reimensnyder-Wagner received her first guitar at age 12 and has rarely been seen without one since. She lives near Lewisburg, but travels widely in the US and the UK, performing her songs and—by her example—inspiring audiences to enjoy their lives fully. KJ is a motivational speaker for children, families and adults as well as the composer of songs that happily stick like welcome earworms. She has recorded at least seven CDs, including “Dreaming Inside Her Mind”, “Ponytales”, “Proud to be a Farmer”. If you don’t have the chance to hear KJ perform in her beloved Scotland, come join us closer to home, which for KJ is wherever you are!
