  Pearly White Rock Chick?
  Yeah, I know, when you think Guitar Rock Chick, you think..."Angry Bad Girl" like Avril or Allanis or "Earthy Folk Girl" like Michelle Branch or Melissa Ethridge but "Good Girl" guitar rock chick? It goes against everything rock stands for, doesn't it? But there she is...bigger than life and becoming a force to be reckoned with….She’s never been kissed!

  Best lead vocals
  Out of the blue and into the stars, your voice is a force of nature. You are easily one of the best vocals I’ve heard. The song has a good melody. The acoustic guitar is great. The song sounds like great singers, only the vocals here would kick any of them off the stage.

  Perfect Pop?
  Wow - this is really nice work. Smooth and heartfelt. And those lead vocals - perfect. Nothing more to say. The melody is catchy and easy to listen to. I like the tremelo guitar in the bridge - it's a really nice contrast to the acoustic throughout the rest of the song. Lots of great things going on in the song. Performance, arrangement, and production are top notch. Excellent!

Setlist

The two types of shows:

One is with a full band when on tour, the music is pop rock with an Muse type edge and then a segment in the middle that is more acoustic. Most all the music is original with just a few covers. Typically an hour and a half long.

The second type is an acoustic show for filler dates when off tour. Mostly covers in bars and pubs, but they also provide a platform to try new songs on a real audience before recording them. The typical night is from 8:30 to 1:30am. The songs are a variety of rock, country, top 40, oldies (80's),pop.
