Band Members: Occasionally I perform with percussionist Laura Wood. She is fabulously talented. My two sisters, Deanna Maples and Michelle Coombes join me on stage when they can for some riveting three part harmonies...

Influences: As a performer and songwriter I'm greatly influenced by the energy, courage and honesty of Melissa Etheridge. Other influences and inspirations are Joni Mitchell, The Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, Alanis Morrisette, Sheryl Crow, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Janis Joplin, Rush, Stevie Nicks... I'm sure there are many more. But my biggest influence was a friend of my parents. His name was Ray Marquis, and he used to play guitar and sing at lounges and clubs back when I was a kid... My parents would take me and my sisters "to see Ray" once in a while. I would just sit and stare, mesmerized, watching him play his guitar and sing!
Sounds Like: somewhere in the musical realm between Joni Mitchell and Melissa Etheridge...
