Jim is currently working on yet another album, which he calls his most intense and powerful yet.

They gradually branched out into such venues as the Orange County Fair, The California Music Fest, and the California State Fair at Cal Expo in addition to performing at high profile clubs in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim. Their first single "Pick Me Up" was released in July 2010 and they are currently working on their debut album, tentatively titled "Face The Music".

She carries a notepad almost everywhere she goes to capture song ideas for her next album. She loves all kinds of music spanning 50 years and will be the first to tell you that she does not use any technology to 'fix' her vocals... ever!
