Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Trombone, Ukulele.ABOUT
I am a Grand Rapids, MI-based lead vocalist with over twenty years of performance experience ranging from opera to classic rock. I sing lead vocals for Grand Rapids own, Fast Hands Blues Band. Currently, we are focused on blues, soul, Motown, r&b, pop, jazz, and folk genres. I am interested in completely revamping our current band so we are in a better position to market ourselves towards weddings and private events, in addition to the bar shows and festivals we currently play. Right now, I am in search of a guitar player and a bass player. If you are passionate, reliable, and interested in gigging in and around the Grand Rapids, MI area, give me a shout! If you are looking to find a lead singer with an extensive vocal range, an eclectic list of repertoire under her belt, and a serious set of pipes, let's talk shop! I would love an opportunity to speak with you, make some melodies, and maybe even enhance your sound...:)

This is one of my very favorite songs to sing, from one of my greatest musical influences to date, Joni Mitchell. I feel fortunate just to know her music exists.

This is an a cappella version of one of my very favorite jazz standards to perform live. As you may notice, this particular recording is not of the highest quality, but I hope you can enjoy it nonetheless. :)
