I am a Brooklyn based singer, bassist, songwriter and photographer. I am currently embarking on my first solo record of original songs after touring for the past three years with my 'dark blues & rock n' roll twang' trio Boss Tweed. I also sing the music of Patsy Cline in Carolyn Sills & The Poor Man's Roses, and love nothing more than singing for a room full of Patsy fans that know every word. In addition to playing with my solo project that includes bass, drums, guitar, pedal steel and vibes, I also perform as a duo with guitarist Gerard Egan, the best darn guitarist I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. We do original jazz songs we've written, plus classics from the 40s, 50s and 60s that should be heard more often.
Please check out my calendar for a list of upcoming shows - it may be my solo stuff, Patsy Cline, Boss Tweed or an insane-o spaghetti western surf band where I wear a beard and sombrero, but either way I should be performing in some capacity in your neighborhood soon. If not, drop me an email and let me know where I should be playing.
I've been fortunate enough to play everywhere from Brooklyn to Berlin. I've sung under the big dipper on a cobble stone street in Mostar, Bosnia, played a biker rally in Split, Croatia, was electrocuted in Correggio, Italy, and had my bass stolen in London and returned to me in Maribor, Slovenia. I've swum in the Adriatic sea, driven from from Seattle to Maine and eaten homemade spatzel in Oberstdorf, Germany. I've been asked to sing 'Crazy' three times in one set for hundreds of rowdy elderly folk, have sat in with Les Paul at the Iridum Jazz Club and was told by one woman that listening to my Christmas single (George Bailey) over and over again helped her finish a 5K race. I am one lucky lady and I owe it all to music.
