I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, after talking with friends again, i've not updated in a while so I was pressed to update my bio. I am 38!!!!, live in Chicago, sing in a female fronted rockabilly/r'n'r band called The Honeybees , (see also [email protected] ). Also Johnny Cash & June Carter Tribute , (see also [email protected] ) and am 1 of 2 backup vocalists for The Del Moroccos. Another side project is my co-singer from Honeybees and I record on a Swiss record label (Blue Lake Records) under the name "the Wuanabees". And finally, am 1 of a 4 part harmony group called "the She-Demons". Although that had it's debut this past VLV 2008, we hope to do more projects down the road.
I own my own home, used to own my own coffee shop called MoJoe's HOT HOUSE, am a Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant, and book shows sometimes. I love the beach and sun, I love singing, I love traveling and I do so at least once a month even if it's just a nearby city like Memphis or Milwaukee. I spend most of my time on The Honeybees, Coffee, and lately-Europe. I discovered Europe was the new hook for me. For many reasons including a REALLY GREAT RELATIONSHIP. The Honeybees finished the buzzzzzyest year ever. Spain, France, Switzerland, Vegas, Greenbay, Montreal, and joined the El Toro Records family. But we also have a busy year ahead. Co-singer and I played with peers in Austria/Germany over Halloween 2006, where I became part of another project, Johnny Cash/June Carter Tribute Show. I also am a backup in The Del Moroccos(Chicago) And I added the Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant to my list of careers! whew! And look out for the She-Demons.

My Interests

Coffee, coffee, coffee, music, music, music, movies, movies, movies, restaurants, drummers, guitar players, Wuanabees, Honybees, Cash Carter Tribute that i'm in, beaches, Europe, L.A., Seattle, Chicago, fantasies, chocolate, singing, singing, singing, drinking with friends, sushi, travel, travel, travel, boys, girlfriends, and new experiences. A lot of music and making new friends.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not sure who I wanna meet. Probably people who'll come to our shows and support our music. I guess that means people who like the same stuff. People who like me. Crazy people too!

Music:

The Honeybees (of course), The Wuanabees, Johnny Cash & June Carter Tribute, Chuck Berry, Etta, Ella, Keely, Brenda Lee, Big Sandy, Nick Curran, The Bellfuries, Mars Attacks, Dawn Shipley, The Casey Sisters, She-Demons, The Donettes, The Go-Getters, The Ranch Girls, Ray Condo, Jump Blues - Wynonie especially, any DooWop, Holly Golightly, Morcheeba, The Darkness, Social D, Rancid, Rock STeady! (almost forgot that), Desmond Decker, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Hank Williams (for sure), lots of punk rock, a lot of rockabilly but too many more to mention....

Movies:

Singles, Pee Wee, Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuler's in fact, John Hughes period. Clueless, Patsy Cline story, Buddy HOlly story, Back To The Future, School of Rock!, Zoolander!, ......hmmm. I guess lots of High School movies and funny movies that involve rock n roll, or just off the beaten path. But I also like a good IFC film....

Television:

Seinfeld, Simpsons, South Park, Sex and The City, Real World, Road Rules (will always be loyal), and cable TV which is mostly movies. Not much on the TV.

Books:

i don't get to read as much as I'd like to. I've been carrying the same book for almost 4 months now. But when I do, I'd rather it be a bio on some musician i love or a topic I can learn about. No novels or Fiction. Learning Languages! or at least trying with books.

Heroes:

myself. ha, kidding, though I like myself. hmm. gotta think about that one.
