Saying Hi to the folks out there!

Having a blast with my two children and my full schedule doing voice overs, writing music, producing CDs, events and shows, performing for private functions and, of course, my SUNDAY NIGHTS at Manitou Station (details on Schedule Page).

Finished producing a 30-minute television Christmas Special and am currently shopping it around to stations to team up with some local talent and make a fun splash on TV!

Looking forward to the new year and can't wait to hear from you - let me know how you are by emailing me and joining my update list. Place your email in the field on this screen and join up!

Many exciting things to come...

Blow It for BIX PIX

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0800

This is the new promotion reel for Bix Pix Entertainment 2011.

-Stop-Motion Animation-

This is the company that did all the stop-motion stuff for NBC's Community this past Christmas season and has had fun spots on Saturday Night Live and many other super cool things!

They asked me to write new lyrics to my motor-mouthed "Blow It" for stop-motion specifics and this is what we came up with!

A little more NBC...

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Some more fun has arrived in the form of NBC's "The Sing Off" during their second season. You just might hear me singing or you just might hear music that I have written playing a supporting role to the contestants and their journeys, hardships and successes.

It was great fun to be part of the team collaborating with Sony and NBC!

Tune in this December...

Papa Murphy's radio commercial

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Hey!

Recorded a national radio commercial (speaking) for Papa Murphy's the other day. So, if you happen to hear the commercial about Fran, the frantic mom driving home from work, that's me! I'm Fran in the commercials as well as the announcer in some of them - 'Handmade fresh, Homebaked great!"

On the Road Again...

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Here we are!
Out and about - doin' what we do best.

Having a blast with the crew on the Girl Singers tour. Pretty easy when the crew consists of my brother(drums), my sister(vox), my mother(vox), my aunt(vox), and the piano player, the bass player, and the crazy fun tech guy.

Playing a bunch in the plains and then we go back home at the end of March. I'm home for a few days, and then I head out to New York to play the Metropolitan Room on Thu Apr 8th and Carnegie Hall Fri Apr 9th. My good friend, Lynn Loosier is the reigning champion of The Apollo Theater's competition and she told me that she plans on having me sing at the Apollo on Wed Apr 7th, but we shall see.... T'would be crazed.

Anyhow, the schedule of the whens and the wheres is on my Schedule Page. Feel free to drop me a line and be sure to pop over to a show if I'm in your area!!!!

Interview

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Hey there - I was just interviewed by a music placement site and thought it might be cool to post the interview here for you!

Q: Where did you grow up?

A: I grew up on the road with my family singing in resorts, lounges, casinos, theme parks, etc. We had a home base near Minneapolis/St. Paul and another out by Atlantic City where my grandmother lived. After getting off of the road around age 13, I ended up completing high school and college in Minneapolis where I still reside with my husband and two children.

Q: What made you realize that music was your path?

A: Music is the family trade. Since birth, all of the children were steeped in show business and it only feels natural for it to be at least part of my path, if not my entire focus.

Q: How would you describe the music that you typically create?

A: I create quite a few different types, depending on the need. The most consistent quality in the music I create is just that. Quality. I pride myself on being versatile and able to jump in, figure it all out and perform/create accordingly.

Q: Who are your biggest musical influences?

A: My family, of course, but besides that, Peggy Lee, 90's hip-hop and R&B, 40's vocal pop, Mel Torme and Nat King Cole.

Q: What makes your music unique?

A: I like the blend of the old showbiz sensibility mixed with today's flavor and mentality. Good lyrics, catchy hooks, old-time sound, today's need for a great voice.

Q: Has there been one particular moment in your musical career that you're most proud of?

A: Jumping out to New York to do a solo show. I had grown up as the daughter, the sidekick, the bonus, the chick singer in a band of boys, etc. I decided to do my very first solo show all the way out in NYC. It was a big dive into doing things on my own. It went very well and was received as such in the Village Voice that year. Loved it. Also, my After Noon album as my first all-original venture. I'm particularly proud of that.

Q: What's next for you?

A: Trying to get my music to a larger audience while still churning out the music that's needed here in town to stay alive. Jingles and weddings and voice overs and commercials make the cash, but going back on the road with my family promoting an album would be right up my alley and is certainly where I'm most at home.
