This respected songwriter and performer began working at folk festivals in the early '70s and has steadily expanded her repertoire to include a variety of musical genres, her reputation and following increasing just as steadily along the way. In 1976, she formed an enduring partnership with swing and ragtime piano player Hoyle Osborne, with whom she has performed and recorded regularly ever since.
She began performing out of a base in San Francisco in 1970, eventually hitting the road for a series of folk festival appearances in the U.S. and Canada several years later. Her early influences were traditional country artists such as the Carter Family, and in her early appearances she became known for her solid interpretations of this type of material. It was a period only a few years before the old-time country genre would begin developing a brand new following, and this has come to be a typical event in the career of this artist.
