Band Members: Dina Regine ********* There's no real band to speak of, just some wonderful players that stop by and make magic. I've played all the guitars, triolian, and an assortment of instruments on both CD's (as well as the vocals, but you knew that...). Some of the supagroovy musicians that have played on my last 2 CD's are Jerry Arias, Alan Geveart (Chris Whitley, dEUS), Will Lee (Fab Faux, David Letterman Show), Kieran McEvoy(co wrote 'Leave it all Behind' with me, but ran off to Dublin too soon & never got to lay down some of his sugar...I miss your guitar honey)Martha Colby, Jefferson Thomas, Tim Luntzel (Jesse Harris & the Ferdinandos, Bright Eyes, Jim Campilongo), Russ Reilly, Sonny Barbato (Jennifer Jackson), Michelle Casillas (Ursa Minor), Kasim Sultan (Todd Rundgren, Joan Jett), Trina Hamlin, David Bravo (Jack Bruce), Malcolm Gold (Trans-Siberan Orchestra, Sheryl Crow), Bill Dobrow (Martha Wainwright, Black Crows, Joy Askew).
Influences: Pizza, pasta, chocolate, red red wine, old movies from the 1940's, Richard Avedon, every camera I've ever had, my bike, skates, & skis, Bill Hickey, Dorothy Parker, my family, my friends, the Hudson River at sunset, being in love, not being in love, living life ****** As far as music goes, I guess everything influences me in some way, I have no boundaries with music and I listen to everything (hell, I also work as a DJ!). But these artists (just to name a few...past and present) have have crawled under my skin and have touched me in a special way....
