I am working with all new band once again the players include smokin Vince White on lead guitar, Rick Smith on bass, Tiffany Wheeler on rhthym guitar and the original DRB drummer, Mark Manahan. The energy of the DRB makes for a harder rockin edge than my solo project; still blues based, straight ahead rock and roll! I'm so lucky to be playing with these guys and we sure do have a great time. Hope to see you at a show soon!
***Safe In The Arms Of Love is a Chris Robinson song with New Earth Mud***
Influences
Aahhh...oooh this is a hard one... well, the first album I remember asking for was Linda Ronstadt's It's So Easy To Fall in Love. That year, x-mas '77 when I was three, I got that 45 in my stocking! I loved that song and would sing it over and over; so... not a lot has changed, just the tune. A short list of some of the loves of my life include, The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, Old Aerosmith, Early Rod Stewart, ACDC, Clappton, Cream, the Eagles, The Band, The Allman Brothers, CSN w/ or w/o Young, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Devo, the Cars, and I still like Oingo Boingo... I know, I know but Danny Elfman is the man, I love Country, Bluegrass,Reggae, Dub, Folk, Americana and on and on. Oh yeah, I love xoxo Bob Marley xoxo...
I am third generation born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew up in Silver Lake and I still just can't get enough. I grew up in a music loving house, my dad was in the industry and he is the biggest fan of music and of me being a singer. I remember growing up, he hoped I'd be a rock n roller... how could I not be, being constantly submerged in Blues and good ole rock and roll. I did take a brief break in the rock and from L.A. and attended San Jose State University and lived up North for six years. I studied Theatre Arts and Musical Theatre. Well I graduated and then quickly moved back home. (I do love No Cal especially, the weather...but I'm a So Cal kinda girl, let me specify... I'm an Eastsider all the way). So I did the music thing for a while, while I bartended and then I decided I SHOULD get a grown- up job and headed back to school; this time studying Psychology. I figured if I had a Masters degree then I'd have more of a chance to make money in life. Quickly thereafter, getting the second degree and putting myself in a whole lotta debt, I realized I want to rock out and I still want to perform.! So here I am again in a band, playing/promoting shows, planning rehearsals, trying to write songs, practicing my guitar, partying and most importanly having a blast with my boys, Ain't life grand... cheers !
