A show about being a woman playing the drums

The Drummer Girl is part comedy, part concert, part story and wholly entertaining. A look at growing up as a girl in an unusual field, taking whatever gig would come my way. From rock and roll to the opera, with all of the funny, and not so funny, experiences that happened along the way. Despite the fact that I've been and continue to be a member of some amazing ensembles, I've always wanted to create my own project. But how do you pick a style when you enjoy so many? The answer hit me one day...why not create a show about all that I do, so that I could play all of the different styles that I love AND get out from behind the drums to let my inner comedian shine with stories and skits. The end result is a bunch of fabulous tunes drawn together with stories about being a woman making a living in this crazy field and loving every minute of it! 

Have you ever played drums in a nun's habit? Do you know what it's like to keep track of music while you're doing crosswords in the pit of an opera? Can you make music with your daughter's shoes? I can...and do! Backed up by a fantastic band I go through a career's worth of great songs and skits, and you get to ask the obligatory question 'Don't you wish you played the flute?' To which I say...no way! I was born to hit things that go boom and crash, and born to perform my show, The Drummer Girl!
