This award-winning singer/songwriter/producer has beguiled audiences internationally performing jazz, blues, and original music. Her national fanbase includes loyal fans of the oft-touring band and folk-jazz icon Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, with whom she s been a charming Lick-ette and featured soloist for seven years. Features Grammy®-nominated composer Wayne Wallace, Michael Barsimanto (Billy Preston, Jean-Luc Ponty, Freddie Hubbard), and Rich Armstrong (Thomas Dolby, Boz Scaggs, Tower of Power).
