Hello,
Thanks for stopping into visit my sight.
Here you will find everything that is part of my life. Karaoke, Live Music, Family, and Friends.
I have been an entertainer for many years. The very first place that I started singing professionally was at Bobby Mackey's in Wilder Ky.
My Family members and I would go there every Sunday night for the jam seccions and singing contest. I won a few and caught the music bug, I've been entertaining ever since.
First as a front singer for a few bands back in the 80's and 90's. The ones I was known best for, were "Kentucky Silk", my very first band. My father Don Baxter also known as "Hank Day" to his music friends, played and sang in this group with me. Country music along with a little Southern rock and 50 and 60's always seemed to keep the people dancing. The first paying gig was at the VFW hall in Dayton Ky.
Later, dad and I parted ways, I moved to Hamilton Ohio using the same band name and we played all over the Hamilton, Middletown and Dayton Ohio area. Dad stayed in Ky. and started working with Burleen Dean and the Orange Blossem Special.
About 1984, I moved back to Ky. and started fronting for a new group called "Sandy Land" named after my new husbands family farm in Petersburg ky. The farm is called sandy land achers and now runs Haunted Hay rides there every year. With this band, I got to play all over Northern Ky. , Ind. and Ohio. We even went to Georga and Alabama playing at NOC clubs for the milatary boys and a chain of Holiday Inns. I met and got to work with many well know musicians. The original members of "The SandyLand Band" were my self, my husband Wayne Stephenson on bass, Chester B. on drums, Jerry Hegg on lead guitar, and a blind picker named Leroy hall that also played a mean lead guitar. I loved these guys and we became like family. We still stay in contact from time to time, but have each went our sepeate ways. Chester B. has sadly passed on.
Many of the musicians I have worked with were very young then and have went on to become big names in the music world. Take a look at the photos I have on my site, you'll see many of them there that you may recongnize.
In 1996 Wayne and I owned a bar in Latonia Ky. We called it the "Wild Wolf Saloon", we also called the band by the same name, the "Wild Wolf Band".
This group consisted of my self and husband Wayne, Chester B., Vera Brady on keys and Jeff Albright on lead guitar. This was one of my favorite groups.
Due to major burn out and a few other factors, we let the bar go and took a rest from music. In 2000 I desided to go back into music but this time as a DJ.
Wayne and I now run a company called Wanda Kay's DJ and Karaoke services. Thats right, Karaoke. I know that sounds funny to all you musicians, but I am really loving it!
We DJ weddings, fairs, corperate patries and more. And oddly enough, things really do come full circal if you wait long enough.....I am right back were I first started....Bobby Mackey every Friday and Saturday night running a karaoke show and DJing.
We have other DJs cover at Bobby Mackeys when ever we get another job, so don't be bashfull, CALL US IF YOU NEED A DJ.

I injoy listing to all my karaoke friends that help me out every week. Some help me when I'm double booked by DJing for me, some help me carry things to and from my car or truck, others just show up faithfully week after week filling the seats and helping me entertain the other guests that come to hear us sing. I love you all and thank you very much, I couldn't do it with out you.
I am also very proud of my grand daughter "Skylar" who is 6 years old and plans to fill my shoes as a singer. She has done a few shows with Grandpa and I and has been singing pro since she turned two.
She has opened for Confederate Railroad, Ronny McDowl and the Country Legends show at Bobby Mackeys a few years ago. She also sings at the Boone and Kenten County Fairs every year.
I have a few photos and videos of her and my Karaoke friends, please check them out.
Influences
MyNiceSpace.com
I grew up listing to Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and others, that is what mom and dad ever played.
I listened to it all, the Rollin' Stones, CCR, Simond and Garfunkle, but my personal favories were The Eagles , The Guess Who, Alabama, Tanya Tucker, The Judds, Reba and Cher. Right now, I think that Carry Underwood and Taylor Swift are pritty hot....................................................................
...............................................................................................................
In my spare time, out side of the music world, I painted signs and windows for over 30years. I love doing childrens rooms and cartoon type art. You may see some of my work from time to time, Wayne has helped me and we have painted shops and stores from Dayton Ohio, through out Northern Ky. down to Lexington and even as far as Nashville Tenn. I have put a few photos of my work on this site for you to see. If I can paint something for you, feel free to contact me on my main sight........wanda@wandakay.com

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
