I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My day job is as an RN Case Manager for Home Health for a great organization called Cedar Communities in West Bend, Wisconsin.
For my alter ego, I am the manager of bands - BackRoads(blues/rock)is my newest band to promote. I am a proud member of WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) and encourage ALL bands/musicians in Wisconsin and northern Illinois to also join this great organization. I have learned many valuable things regarding our craft as a result of being a member. I was priveledged to be on the committee for the WAMI awards show in 2008 and had a great time working with everyone, as well as meeting all of the great musicians in the area. There truly is a ton of talent in Wisconsin and northern Illinois!
I am also a proud mom of two and young grandma of an adorable little boy, Scott - born August 2, 2007 in South Haven, Michigan.
How it began: I was the former manager of a band that my daughter was the rhythm guitarist in...Mystic Spiryt...which has since broken up. While managing them, I met the guys from the John Frederick Band. I managed them until recently.
BackRoads: The first time I actually saw the band perform was at Cali's Lounge in Brookfield in September of 2006. Silly that it took me so long to see them! You see, the acoustic guitarist is my brother...so, I shouldn't have waited so long to see a performance. They are very versitile with their performances and have tons of experience, including playing the Wisconsin State Fair.
What type of partier are you? Your Result: The designated driver

You are the gem of any party, the rock, the one who can roll with the group and have a ton of fun, even though you are completely sober most of the time. You may have a rare occasional drink, but really don't need it or care if you have one. The potheads tend to fall into this group often, as they prefer to smoke up instead of drink anyway, and it wears off before its time to go home. You find your friends amusing as they get ripped and try to hit on you, slurring their words and calling you 'the best', though you get annoyed at the constant 'come on, just have one with me' as they try to buy you a drink.
