February 2002

First of all, thanks for hanging out and spending a little bit of your day with me. A lot of people don't know it, but I have been writing and performing since the age of five. My first axe was really my mother's ukelele.

Mom and Dad really did a great job hiding their disappointment when I told them I wanted to be a singer. After a bunch of open mic nights and solo coffee house gigs (the espresso machine always wins!), I started looking for a band. My first band played one gig at Fernando's Hideaway and called it quits. What's a girl to do? I also spent a little time with:

The Rehabs - I am still looking for Joe that crazy drummer
Paul Revere and the Soul Raiders - My first horn band!
Ground Zero/Blue Victor - My first attempt at electric guitar
Fade to Blue - A marriage of eight
The Search - still appearing semi-annually at a bonfire near you

Meet my current playmates!

The CD project has taken a hell of a long time. I owe so much to the key players:

Mike Nelson
Scott Olson
Jim Rumpf
Rich Buhl
Joe Brisse
Blaine Prout
Charley Dush
Regina Lafay
Ben Hanson
Kim Knudson
Chris Caliguri
