Since her arrival in 1990 Wendy has established herself and her band the Soulshakers, as a mainstay on the regional club and festival circuit. Over the years she has taken her band on the road on the east coast and to Europe as well as producing 5 CDs. In the year 2000 Wendy took some time off from the Soulshakers to tour with the legendary Big Brother & the Holding Company. She performed with them at venues all over the US and Europe through 2004 and remained friends with guitarist Sam Andrew until his passing in 2015.
Her latest labor of love, “It’s All Nothing”, was recorded in Nashville, TN, Houston TX, and even Largo FL! The Nashville tracks were produced by Kevin McKendree (who also produced her “Driver” CD) while Texas tunes were overseen by Andy Bradley.
