During her professional vocalist career, she has been a member of many top-notch cover bands in the tri-state area.

JOE SIMONE - Lead Guitar
“I try and transport people to the same place I am in my head when I play. If I can’t do that, I am not ready yet”
— Joe Simone
Joe starting playing acoustic guitar in the 70’s, performing all the top hits of that era. Although classic rock was always where he gravitated, the immense popularity of the alternative rock genre in the 90's lured Joe away. He played the full circuit in the Tri-State area for 8 years with a headlining alt-rock band.
Back to his roots again, he is dedicated to playing what he loves.... covers from all the great bands of his formative years!

“The best and truest music is an illusion of technique; it is like speaking to a loved one; extemporaneous and straight from the heart.”
— Garnett McRiff
