THANK YOU for visiting my web site. By doing so, you are supporting one of many starving artists of the Portland music scene. I'm a life-long bass player and singer/songwriter trying to make a living at this without having to resort to getting a REAL job. I'm just here to put myself into the music wholeheartedly and let people know that a female bassist isn't just a novelty.

My debut CD "Self Material" is an eclectic mix of songs - some personal, some political, some just made up. You can find the anti-WalMart song "Bentonville Blues", loser anthem "Sisyphus" and war for Peak Oil song "My Oil" on this CD. When something affects me deeply enough, provoking an emotional response, occasionally a song may come squeezing out of the experience...usually on the back of a bank statement envelope. My influences run the gamut, from the pop-rock of early KISS to female rock musicians like Alanis Morrisette and Joan Osborne to singer/songwriters like Tom Waits.

Check out MySpace to listen to a sample of my music and get more information. If you'd like an electronic press kit, please visit SonicBids. See the calendar to find out where I'm playing next. Want to email me? Click here.
