bio

I am a singer/songwriter piano playing entertaining, funny, exciting kind of gal. I've been in the music business since 1976 and have played across the US and Europe.

I've played all kinds of music in order to make a living but my preference is blues, R'n'B and rock. I do love to rock but know how to deliver a ballad that'll tear your heart out.

I have a natural talent for connecting with an audience which has served me well these many years. I love what I do and hope to continue performing and writing songs as long as I breathe.

Years of band work on the road and off has afforded me the opportunity to work with some great people. As a band leader, I found out how challenging and rewarding it can be to keep the music fresh, the musicians happy and the gigs booked.

I have always done work as a solo artist and fell into the dueling piano circuit because of other piano players I knew.

I am currently gigging 4 nites a week at Little Ditty's in the Mall of America here in Minnesota. This is a great gig because of the scope of the material that you are requested to perform. As a result, my repetoire has become very extensive and my impov skills are razor sharp.

I continue to write and am currently producing a live CD of the dueling show that was recorded in March. It will be available this summer.
