ABOUT

My strength is mellow, smooth, jazz and blues, with a strong love of the female (chanteuse) singers from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and up. I would really like to work with local musicians to perform covers and write some original music in this style.

I've had a great time singing classic rock tunes with the rock n' roll guys - (covering everything from Heart and Pat Benatar to Joan Jett and Janis), and currently I am half of an acoustic/electric duo with my husband Scott, where we performing some rock, some blues, a bit of Motown, and of course.. . some Jazz.

I can still belt 'em out, but performing songs with subtleties and nuance, in smaller, more intimate spaces and lounges -- would be my ideal gig... ;)
