MONICA YONGE: Rock On

Alt/pop/rock, melodic & edgy, with solid female vocals. Yonge's sound evokes the styles of Led Zeppelin, Grace Slick & Cher.

Rock On is now available through the itunes music store.

Monica Yonge was born in Holland and raised in Toronto, Canada. At an early age she had a natural feel for music. She began playing acoustic guitar in her late teens after purchasing a second hand guitar from the local music store with money she saved from her part-time job. A self taught guitar player she picked up cover songs from sheet music, other guitar players and tablature. It was at this time when she began to experiment with different chord progressions that sparked her to begin writing her own songs. In the past, Yonge received private vocal instruction. She has an alto/contralto vocal range which is why she is sometimes compared to Cher, Johnette Napolitano, Grace Slick or Chrissie Hyndes. Of the many bands that Yonge grew up listening to Etta James, Johnny Winter and Jim Morrisson had the most influence on her.

Ronny North	Jun 5 2008 9:36 AM Monica, YOU ROCK!!!!! Can't wait to play on your song!!!
paul bibbins	Jun 1 2008 6:58 PM Hey Monica, I added a new song to the player. It’s called “Frantic Freedom”. It’s a live studio groove rock jam that’s funky as hell! Think of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxey Lady” on steroids, and you’ll have a good idea of what’s in store for you when you hear the song. There’s also a companion live video for the song. And in the video I DO MY UPSIDE-DOWN GUITAR PLAYING THING. Ya gotta see it!! **IF YOU DIG IT, YOU CAN BUY THE LIVE JAM TRACK FROM THE VID FROM MY SNOCAP STORE! Also, I added TWO MORE videos. One is called “a little bit of my history”, in which I talk about some of the things that shaped me as a guitar player. The last new vid is called “Rocket Dreams”, a straight-up rock jam! Check out all three videos! …enjoy! Paul

Solace of the Sun	Sep 11 2007 8:14 AM What's going on? Hope your summer rocked! Ours was pretty good. Although, it's been a little crazy lately trying to finish recording our demo album and getting ready for the "Life Rocks Concert" coming up on Friday, October 5th. We wanted to let you know about it and personally invite you out to the show. It's gonna start around 7pm at the Carolina Theatre (downtown Greensboro) and there's 4 or 5 other bands (from around the world) playing with us. If you can make it, we'd love to see you at the show to support this worthy cause. Hope to see you there, Brandon & Cory P.S. Let us know if you can make it.
