  • Bio

    After singing in an all-women's acapella group in the northeast for 5 years, I heard B.B. King's "Lucille" in 1994 and I was hooked. Finished school, packed myself and my cat into my car and drove down to Austin, Texas where I heard there was a great live blues scene. Started my first band in 1998 at Austin's infamous 6th Street blues dive, Joe's Generic Bar. The band was "the Dupes," initially formed with 2 mentors of mine, drummer Jeff Hodges and guitarist George Rarey. The following year came the "Cooltones" - a brief line-up including another long-time friend and mentor, the late great "Uncle" John Turner and (then teenage) young gun guitarists Gary Clark, Jr. and Eve Monsees. For the next several years I played and travelled regionally and internationally with various lineups, often featuring Houston's John McVey on guitar. Of course this is the extremely abbreviated version. It's been an amazing 12 years! ....Here's a slideshow of my May, 2006 tour of Sweden, Germany & Denmark with "Uncle" John Turner, Jan Gerfast and "Magic Mama"......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Thanks to Dave Scott, the U.S. Consul to the Azores, with his amazing hospitality and off-the-beaten-path tourguide knowhow, this 10-day tour far surpassed any I've experienced! In my next life, I want to be an Azorean cow. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......
