Whit Hill and the Postcards

I am a Nashville-based singer and songwriter. I sometimes perform with my band, the Postcards. I started Whit Hill and the Postcards in 2001, 'cause I wanted my songs to be louder.
I was born and raised in New York City, graduated from the High School for the Performing Arts and got a dance degree from the University of Michigan. I was a professional choreographer for many years; my company was based in Ann Arbor. I made about 60 dance and theater works and taught a zillion classes in studios, colleges and universities all over Michigan. On the side, I toured as a backup singer with Dick Siegel's band for about five years, then I stopped dancing entirely and started writing and recording songs and performing with the Postcards.
My husband, Al Hill (www.alhillblues.com) is responsible for getting me serious about songwriting. Al is one of Michigan's best-loved blues and boogie woogie artists, and is also music director for soul diva Bettye Lavette. He's always bopping off to Europe with her which leaves me lots of writing time.
Other interesting things about me, including some confessions:
I have a Rottweiler named Chloe and a wily shepherd mutt named Jakson. And one crabby, geriatric cat.
I once delivered a friend's baby in the hallway of her apartment. (Actually, she delivered her baby; I just was sort of there, holding a blanket.)
My dad is an actor and was on the Sopranos once and also had a pretty good part in Zodiac, with several scenes opposite Jake Gyllenhall.
We moved to Nashville after ten years of planning it.
I am not interested in diamond rings or Hummers.
I consider myself a home birth activist.
I am 38 years older than my brother.
Sometimes, for fleeting moments, I care slightly about some sports. Once a week I teach a roomful of adorable little people how to dance. It is the high point of my week.
I am the one who stole the candy at that camp in Maine and yes, I did lie about it when confronted.
The most incredible thing I ever saw (aside from babies being born) was the Aurora Borealis in northern Michigan in 1990. It was like God drawing spirals for hours and hours and hours.
I like to write songs and to be around other people who like to write songs. Hence, Nashville. Love it here. Have played at the Bluebird, the Rutledge, the Family Wash, Norm's, and lots of other local venues.
