Long Haired Country Girl - Pass the Jam Series

Rooted in the heart of the Kootenay Rockies, she draws her inspiration from the wild and rugged landscape that she calls home; from the rivers she wades in, and from the small town working life she leads.

With her use of traditional instruments, kinetic foot percussion and old-time lyrics, she puts herself into the category of Roots and Blues, with a just a hint of Old Time and Bluegrass.

She has recently incorporated playing electric lap steel into her live shows where she fuses her love of Blues and Bluegrass together into a Rock and Roll, one woman performance.

With the help of an upgraded Boss loop station, an octave pedal and a pair of handcrafted Butter Box Cajons set up as a kick and a snare drum, she can recreate a sound that could only be accomplished before with a three-piece band.

Using distorted slide guitar and foot drums to cover bands like Led Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, CCR, Muddy Waters and Jimmy Hendrix, she has taken her solo shows to a whole new level.

She has played alongside some of the best musicians in East and West Kootenay’s and over the years has developed a multi-instrument, musical diversity which she brings to every musical project and performance. She has developed a style that is truly unique and a reflection of who she is.

From delicate stories of love and loss, to tongue-in-cheek murder ballads, to Rock and Roll covers that gets the crowd out of their chairs dancing, she writes from the heart resulting in a degree of authenticity seldom seen in a live performer.
