Regan (pronounced "ray-gun") started her musical career at the age of 14 as the lead singer of a popular Virginia band, based out of Richmond. As her musical talents evolved, she began reaching thousands of people with her own intoxicating original music.  Even though she has been compared to the likes of Sheryl Crow, Edie Brickell, Rickie Lee Jones, and even Bjork, her acclaimed unique voice and incredible blend of rock, pop, and acoustic groove along with clever, and sometimes heart-wrenching lyrics, easily make her stand out on her own.  

Regan caught the attention of David Lowery (frontman for Cracker) which prompted him to fly in the rest of Cracker to record a demo of some of her earlier songs. Lowery was instrumental in opening many doors for Regan. She has also worked with Doug Derryberry & John Alagia (producer/engineer: Jason Mraz, Vertical Horizon, Everything, Edwin McCain Band, Dave Matthews Band, Ben Folds Five, moe, Agents of Good Roots, Keller Williams, and many more), Jeff Juliano (engineer; Vertical Horizon, Bruce Hornsby, DMB), members of Agents Of Good Roots,  Fighting Gravity, Carbon Leaf, and Bruce Hornsby's Band, among other established artists.She has shared the bill with Everything,  Freedy Johnston,  Blind Melon, members of P-Funk, Chris Barron (Spin Doctors),  Kevn Kinney (Drivin N Cryin),  Chantal Kreviazuk (Sony), Melissa Ferrick, The Judybats, Jimmie's Chicken Shack,  Eddie From Ohio,  Jill Sobule,  Shana Morrison (Van Morisson's daughter), Zilla (Widespread Panic side project),  Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), and countless others.Her debut solo recording, "First Breath" (produced by Regan) was released in late September 2000. "First Breath" stayed in the No. 1 Top Selling CD (Pop/Rock) spot on MP3.com for over 12 weeks as well as reaching No.1 over the entire site numerous times. She has sold cd's in most states and countries through her incredible internet success.Regan's second CD, Coming Or Going?, (released July 2002), combines incredibly strong songwriting, clever lyrics, and intense performances by some of the East Coast's most sought after musicians.  This, along with national distribution through Red Eye Distribution has further proven Regan's undeniable talent and has helped increase her exposure across the country.  Coming Or Going? was produced in part by Wayne Pooley & Doug Derryberry (both of Bruce Hornsby), Stewart Myers and features members of Agents Of Good Roots (two of whom are also featured on Jason Mraz's "Waiting For My Rocket To Come"), Bruce Hornsby Band, as well as Butch Taylor (Dave Matthews Band touring keyboardist).In 2001, Regan sang and recorded Richmond, VA's new Theme Song, "Easy To Love" along with American Music Award Winners, Carbon Leaf.  Regan is known for her outstanding live performances. Her unique voice and songwriting skills are unmatched, and have earned the respect of those around her, which has allowed her to become a mainstay in the Mid Atlantic region.  You may see her touring either solo, duo with renowned guitarist Andrew Winn (Agents of Good Roots), or varied versions of back up bands whose members include: Robby Sinclair (drums), Curtis Fye (stand up & electric bass), Daniel Clarke (keys), & JC Kuhl (sax).Regan has traveled the country sharing her inspiring music and, thanks to the invention of the worldwide web, her songs have reached the ears of music lovers globally. Her efforts have been anything but futile, the word is out and spreading quickly. Catch her while you can...
