About Me
My Mission Statement
Music changed my life.
Music gave my teenage heart hope. And still does!
Music made every celebration a million times better.
Music gave my grief a place to grieve and feel better.
Music gives me more energy than a triple espresso!
Music has given me strength and courage that I never thought I’d have.
Getting me through loneliness…knowing I’m not alone, helping me find my people. I did and still do.
I'm here to laugh my head off with you, cry with you, fix our broken hearts together, celebrate our achievements together, big or small!
I give you my heart in songs.
Music is life

Our Story
We started playing music and being happy the moment we re-met on the front porch of a party. 2 guitarz, lots of silly ideas. Sallying forth through life as if everything is possible. Because it is.
There is a much longer story...
His Sound
Al Teman... His inspirations, ridiculously funny and fabulous songs, awesome production style and love of life coming at you soon.
When we collaborate we go under the umbrella of
Sunset Junction Band

My Sound
My inspiration.
I'm driven by melody, story and a whole lot of energy!
Trying for some sort of timeline order but veered off.
He's A Rebel, Boots are made for Walking, River Deep Mountain High - Tina Turner
Janis Joplin - Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills Piece Of My Heart. Life changer for me!
Then there's Heart - Barracuda, Crazy on You.
Leon Russell, Elton John, Kiki Dee
ZZ Top, Beatles, Niel Young, Brandi Carlile, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Dick Dale, Chaka Khan and Rufus, Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin,, Leslie Gore, Billy Holiday, John Prine.
Prince, Queen, System of a Down - James Brown.
There's my quadruple espresso!
Sonny and Cher - I Got You Babe, must've stuck in my heart because I desired a musical lover. What do you do together? Go to dinner, movies... and then what?
Music and Babies!!!
During the pandemic shut down I learned how to use protools. Still learning!
A lot of sounds are being made and I'll do my best to share with you.
Definitely rockin'.
