She has performed multiple genres in various local/regional bands, including Uptown Revue, Spectrum (contemporary/Top 40/Jazz), Barbie and the Rockers, JoJo and the Blue Notes (Blues/Rock/Crossover).

“I was away from the area for many years. My husband of 38 years, a prolific guitarist, was my ‘partner in crime’ musically. There were plans in the works for a new band. He, unfortunately passed away in a tragic accident shortly after our return to the area. Although this tragic accident left me wondering how to move forward musically, I was so very honored to work with Neal Massa on a few pick up gigs in 2024, which led to the opportunity to participate in this new creation – The band called Revival! I am super excited to be a part of this fantastic group of talented musicians and look forward to many great times ahead!”
