Jilly Martin is really excited about the release of "I'm Getting There" as it really describes where she is in her life right now! There are so many amazing people involved in the release of this song, and they need to be recognized! Jilly wrote "I'm Getting There" with Stan Swiniarski. You'll also hear Stan playing keys and strings on the track. The other musicians you'll hear are all people that Jilly has had the honor of performing with over the years. The lead guitar and acoustic guitar you'll hear is Ryan Brooks Kelly. Ryan is a fantastic artist in his own right, and Jilly was so glad he agreed to be a part of this recording! Michael Robert Kelly played bass and kicks off the tune with his banjo picking! You'll often see Jilly and Mike performing as an acoustic duo. Sean Fitzgerald kept the beat rolling on the drums and added his own personal touch. Kenny Lewis added a little percussion to the mix. The song was mixed and mastered by Kenny Lewis at Mixed Emotions Music. A special thank you to Emily Joy Ashman for her photography and artwork for the single!
