Singer, songwriter, punk rock girl. Ruler of all I survey.
Touring up to 75,000 miles per year, Simone performs an average of 270 shows annually (2007-2016). Independently financed and self-managed, Simone has achieved more than most indie-bands would hope for. National media attention, endorsements from international organizations and regular airplay are just of the few accomplishments this young artist has experienced. 'Strong riffs, hooks and melodies make Simone a highly-listenable band' (Miramar Management), but it is the energy of the live performances that Simone is best known. Sharing the stage with bands such as LA Guns, Bullet Boys, Dishwalla, JR Richards, The Sammus Theory, At Cliffs End, Stranded and many others, Simone exceeds expectations. Known for their live performances -- "[Simone's] got the look, got the voice, got the songs" (Steve Gilmore, Rebel Riffs), Simone tours throughout the US and Europe. Their music has charted on GarageBand, StereoFame, OurStage, NoiseHead and Imeem, and their independent release "Temporary Heaven" was awarded the E.A.R. (Excellence In Audio Recording) award in 2007.

Story behind the song
"White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song whose lyrics reminisce about White Christmases. White Christmas was written in 1940 by a Irving Berlin for the 1942 movie "Holiday Inn" starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Berlin's assignment was to write a song about each of the major holidays of the year. But Berlin, who was Jewish, found that writing a song about Christmas was the most challenging. The World War II had destroyed not only the nations but also the hopes and aspirations of millions. With an uncertain future the dark bleak days were a torment to many. White Christmas was like a fresh breeze, giving a feel-good feeling and succor to the tormented souls. The main reason was the song expresses a sense of yearning and peace. By the time the war got over, White Christmas was the biggest selling single, a record unbroken for more than fifty years. The song hit the charts on 3rd October 1942 and climbed up to the number one position by 31st October.
Lyrics
White Christmas I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.
