About Me

This is my band, Celia's Big Rock Band:
I play with this band on a semi-regular basis in and around St. Louis MO. We have traveled regionally and nationally along with the other band that I am in, FIRE DOG .
.
Together, and along with anyone else who participates, we form
We make shows and we use our imaginations to find ways to share our love with the world. We incorporate live video mixing by VJ Evil Che and sometimes show independent documentary movies like At Highest Risk: Maternal Health Care in the High Peruvian Andes by Rebecca S. Rivas , who also sometimes spins fire or belly dances at our shows. See www.loveoramarecords.com for more links and details. LOVE-O-RAMA is currently planning our next tour for Fall '08. Want to get involved? Message me here or send an email to [email protected].
I can also be found crooning acoustic tunes alone or with others all over the St. Louis area and beyond. As a solo artist, I have toured the U.S. and attended and performed at industry conferences such as Access to Amsterdam and South by Southwest. I hosted open mic at Novak's for about six years, and before that, I used to play guitar and sing songs at this little bar called Brown Bear Brewery in Lawrence KS every Tuesday night for a couple of years. I also play music for and with children regularly. Here's a picture of me with a young fan in the good old summertime:
You can also find me during the holidays with this awesome band:
All Aboard! It's Celia's Yuletide Express!
Some other bands in the fam: My bandmate Melinda Winifred Jane Tentrees is in a band called A Bit Shifty ; my drummer, Tom Collins is in a band called The Perfect Teeth with Chris Wilson and Dan Huck of The In? . Dan went on tour with Love-O-Rama as bass for Celia's Big Rock Band, and Chris played with the Yuletide Express in '07.
