DESCRIPTION:
This queen of blue-eyed rock n' soul grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples. Teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process. Shes the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band, who sang at SNLs 25th Anniversary telecast, Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary bash at The Garden, and the Central Park Summerstage Tribute To Janis Joplin; appears on Grammy nominees A Tribute To Howlin' Wolf (with Taj Mahal and Lucinda Williams) and Charlie Musselwhites One Night In America; worked on a musical with Cy Coleman (who maintained her sense of timing is not unlike Peggy Lee's); sang the theme song for NBCs 30 Rock; duets live whenever possible with blues legends Eddie Kirkland and Hubert Sumlin; collaborated with Marshall Crenshaw on a critically-acclaimed track for Labour Of Love: The Music of Nick Lowe and Big Al Anderson on Pawn Shop Guitars, as well as with Ian Hunter on his latest, Shrunken Heads; edited Andrew Loog Oldhams autobiography 2Stoned; worked with Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder & others on the Rhythm & Blues Foundation Awards--all the while continuing to torch clubs up and down the Eastern Seaboard in support of her recordings (Strip, The Hard Way, Radio Queen, and Wicked Time and two upcoming 2008 releases, a career retrospective entitled re-hive and The Deep End, her first CD of original material in five years, featuring special guests Ian Hunter, Dion DiMucci, GE Smith, Marshall Crenshaw, Big Al Anderson, and others) with her band Rebel Montez (Michael Colbath-bass; Cliff Goodwin-guitar; Larry Donahue-drums).
