  • Born in Nashville, living in Japan from the age of two as part of an International Community, this slide guitar legend grew up listening to a combination of New Orleans R & B, Japanese Shamisen, and what is now called "World Music".
  • Her high energy Rhythm & Blues, along with Middle Eastern laments, Indian, Pakistani & West African influences and a capella Gospel numbers combined with her amazing Slide Guitar and Vocal Acrobatics all make for a dynamic show. Anecdotes & stories from her forty-some years in the business add warmth and humour to her unforgettable appearances.
