Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have worked with different bands but my band, The Rebel Rose Band played together for 3 1/2 years mainly in NYC for The Kiwani's, The Crowne Plaza and Herald Square till Sept., 2002. We also performed for Woodside Community Street fairs. I hope to be playing by the spring, with the release of my new album "I'll Be True To You."
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live sometimes at the C-note in Manhattan, NYC and open mike songwriter's clubs.
I love playing with my Band when we get a line dance teacher and we get work. Our best moment was when we played at the Crowne Plaza in Flushing, NY and received a Thank You for the great time our audience had. It was our last performance in awhile and we had hired 2 new players.
