BMU student hits musical trifecta

RYEGATE—One of Karli Blood’s favorite songs is “Strawberry Wine” by Deana Carter (1996).
“The composition, instrumentals, and vocals are beautifully written and recorded,” Blood told the Journal Opinion recently.
It should come as no surprise then that Blood’s two recorded songs, “Still a Child” and “What We Used To Be” evoke similar rhythms and themes, especially as country music is her favorite genre. Blood, 17, will begin her senior year of Blue Mountain Union this fall. Not only is she an accomplished singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, she is also a recording artist.
