ALL NEW CHICKS WITH GUITARS LAUNCHING SOON

Chicks with Guitars – be brave, keep learning and enjoy.  

 Chicks with Guitars is a figurative expression. It’s more about being armed and ready than it is about being a “chick”. We’re equal opportunity. We’ve had shows with honorary (boy) chicks. We’ve also had chicks with drums, chicks with violins, chicks with pianos, chicks with cellos and even a chick with a saw. We were once a NYC showcase, then a traveling showcase.  And in Spring of 2010, a content site to help you get started, stay inspired and move forward.  Stay tuned for details. Cheers!

In the meantime, there’s some historical information on this site (pardon the links, missing photos… we’re working on it) for your amusement.

COLLECTIBLE COMPILATION CD

This CD is no longer for sale in its full-color glory… and limited amounts of a reprint and a second version exist.

Memories… Bloomsburg Outdoor Spring Festival
Saturday April 22, 2006

Featuring me, Jeanette Palmer, and Nicola… played two afternoon sets. Fun even though the weather was all about those spring showers. It was blinding rain while we set-up. I’m wearing our tour managers’ coat because I was wet and cold, cold, cold.  And I was 8 months pregnant!

Thankfully there were still good crowds of people roaming the wet streets, stopping to listen and buy some CDs.
