Mostly, I love to sing. I have been a songwriter since 1978, mainly writing for myself and my circle of musician friends. I play piano, acoustic guitar, and uke. I regret that I have never recorded a CD of my music (yet!) Genres include: alt folk, Americana, blues, folk-pop, singer/songwriter, theater, funny songs/parody. My background is in theater acting, though I don't do much of that anymore.

I would describe my vocal style as clear, belting, bluesy, theatrical, mezzo-soprano. I resonate with singers such as Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin, Aimee Mann, Patty Larkin, Brandi Carlile and Megan Trainer. I particularly admire the songwriting of Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Jackon Browne, Ben Folds, REM, They Might Be Giants, CSN&Y, Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell and so many more. Though this list is very folky/acoustic, I also love rock and roll, hip hop, R&B and pop music.

Lately I have been learning how to write for sync licensing and I'm looking for producers to collaborate on projects for that purpose. I am learning to produce and make multi-track recordings (I work in Presonus Studio One Artist), but I need a more pro producer to bring my tracks to being "radio-ready" and pitchable. Shout out to the wonderful community of #2Indie and #LicensingBasecamp! They taught me all I know.

I've been Co-chair of Philadelphia Area Songwriters Alliance (PASA www.pasamusic.org) for over 25 years. I occasionally perform live in the Philadelphia, PA area - both solo and with husband David C. Perry as Winchester/Perry - since 1992. We live in Norristown, PA outside Philly since 1999. We have one wonderful daughter who is now 20 and in college and lives at home.
