How is the tour going so far?
I had good success in Atlanta recently including a "Hands on Memorabilia" at the Hard Rock Cafe'. I did that solo as "Anita Drink" mainly plays the south/east. We do get out when we can.

Do you have any dates set after the Connecticut shows? Where else will the tour take you this year?
Yes. Back to Florida where we play weekly. I think we'll be in Atlanta again in November. There is also talk of doing some dates in Colorado. We'll go anywhere if it pays!!

Who is in your touring band? Do these players also appear on Welcome To Dreamfield?
Marlene Pederson on bass & vocals, Nici Haerter on drums, & my daughter Kaleigh on trumpet. Kaleigh mainly plays just the Florida stuff as she's back to high school now. They don't appear on Welcome to Dreamfield, but are on the new cd titled, "Miserably Happy" to be released in October.

Will you play songs from both studio albums? What else will you play? Anything from Anita Drink?
Yes. Actually, I have three cds. The first was "Never Give Up", then "Welcome to Dreamfield" and the newest, "Miserably Happy". We play from all three.

Who do you consider to be influences?
I'd have to say the Beatles, Zeppelin, Heart, Santana, Bare Naked Ladies, Did I say that? Fleetwood Mac, Melissa Etheridge. The list is very long as I write many styles.

What are your interests outside music?
I have none!

What was your first rock concert?
I'm thinkin' it was Heart or Van Halen. I'm not sure which was 1st.

Do you use the internet?
Yes & I hope everyone else does too. You can buy our CDs & t'shirts there on our website & at amazon.com, www.columbiahouse.com, emusic.com, & more.
