"Preaching the 'GoZpel' . . . sort of . . . Hoosier Darling"

As Hoosier Darling, Norton, Weakley, Curry and Flint have performed at Ivy Tech commencement, the prestigious Indiana University Auditorium, private shows and parties, churches, breweries and wineries. They've even performed by invitation for various churches who hire them for special occasions. . . after all - they did start their group as a spoof on a Southern Baptist group with their local community radio - live theater broadcast - as 'The WFHB GoZpel GurlZ. ' The music featured on their first album includes covers of songs ranging from Pink’s “Perfect” and a cappella pieces to comedic material like “God’s Gift to Women” and “Hormonal Rhapsody.”

“We talk about Twinkies and vodka and Facebook,” Curry said.

“Because we like to talk about what we know,” Weakley joked.

Although the group tends to gravitate toward humor, their song selection for the CD can only be described as a jack-of-all-trades type of album. . . recorded LIVE at Cathi Norton's home - where the ladies often practice.

“We do a lot of funny stuff, but then we can nail some pretty sweet harmonies on just about every decade you think of, we have something from it,” Weakley said.

All of the girls sing lead and whatever back up they feel will enhance the song - each of them also perform back up instrumentation - including guitar, mandolin, accordion, melodica, ukulele, harmonica and various rhythm instruments. We have all performed with bands, and accompany ourselves more times than not - but our favorite songs are acapella - no one seems to miss the instruments when we do that . . . Weakley added. - Herald Times Newspaper
