ABOUT

Hello! I'm looking for two potential scenarios:

1 - Another friendly and gifted female performer to join up with me for some of the area's smaller, more intimate settings (ex, dinner hours, small corporate or wedding/ceremony atmospheres.)

2 - Some seasoned band people to co-grace the music scene (please no country.)

After a 16-year hiatus to have kids (I've kept up my chops by leading worship in churches,) I'm eager to get back to my roots by playing out secularly. In me, you'll find a rocker at heart who loves to move on stage, but I also love to dial it down with soft ballads. My range is wide, from sultry alto to high soprano.

Vocally, I'm versatile, can cover almost anyone, and learn songs quickly. Guitar-wise, I'm basic but tight and flexible, able to hold a solid rhythm while responding to my fellow musicians and the atmosphere. I also fingerpick and can carry Landslide and Hotel California (with some reviving practice.)
