Picture This:

A tall, blue-eyed blonde walks onstage and rips into a high-energy blazing guitar lead, propelled by the thumpin' blues rockin' backbeat erupting from her band. Heads bob and bodies pulsate as that intense and beautiful symbiosis has begun: a passionate, no-holds-barred, heart to heart conversation between artist and music lover.
