A vocalist who can’t decide if she sounds more like Elvis or Melissa Etheridge most days, and won’t feel successful with this show until she can enter a stage on her motorcycle. Gina has worn too many hats to keep track of. That’s probably why a past employer referred to her as a ‘beautiful contradiction’, to which she replied “So, I’m hired?” (she did get that job). Women of Rock is a love child composed of all the many hats worn over the years from educator, director, performer, mentor, eternal black sheep, the inability to make more money singing musical theatre - etc. She’s on an epic quest to create nostalgic entertainment that deeply resonates with the audience on a personal level.

Miss Emily hails from the Jersey Shore and is a soulful, gritty powerhouse with a high belt, and a theatrical, spunky spirit. She can be seen singing and touring with a lot of projects such as @rememberjones and Simply The Best, Tribute to Women of the 80’s. And also, she can sell your house. Really, she has a license to do it and everything. She can also speak for long periods of time using a cockney accent, but it will probably start to sound Scottish after a while.

Rorie Kelly is a singer/songwriter, guitar and piano player, and purveyor of finely selected dad jokes. She is also a tarot reader and witch and if you are not careful she will put you in a soup. Choose wisely.

Michael is a multi-instrumental musician but spends most of his money buying guitars. Thanks to the values instilled by his German grandparents and Canadian mother he works tirelessly at his craft, but feels embarrassed and immodest when asked to write a bio about himself.

Story Time With Tina:

“One evening, when I was in a club with a friend, the drummer of the band threw out his sticks to the audience…. I got very lucky and caught one! Over the course of the night I held onto that stick, and decided that I wanted to play drums. My life as a drummer began in my teens. I took lessons and practiced with devotion that shocked my family. Two years later, I was ready to join my first band.

Some drummers that have inspired me include: Buddy Rich, Vinnie Colaiuta, John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Keith Moon. I always feel euphoric when I play because it is such a passion that I have, and I never play without my lucky red sneakers!”

‘Jo’ may be 5ft and often blocked on stage by her own rig, but her energy proceeds her. Not only does she make time to be a touring musician, but she also spends her days telling people what to do in court. She may be a lawyer, we aren’t totally sure. Either way we don’t want to make her mad.

Mari is a music teacher by day and a performer by night. Also a ninja, but more on that later. Sometimes she’s fancy and plays viola. sometimes she does the ska thing, but luckily for us she plays the electric bass. Mari believes listening to live music is one of the most human experiences we can have. So if you don’t enjoy this show, you are clearly of the robot variety.
