Miss Blues is a living internationally known blues legend. Miss Blues and her band have played blues festivals and nightclubs all over the United States, Europe, and the world. She was inducted into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2007, and 2009 Miss Blues was voted the Best Blues Band in Oklahoma and received a "Woody" award from the Oklahoma Gazette which noted that Miss Blues is "the state’s first lady of the blues - all soul and she lets you know it! Belting out songs in a signature way that her many admirers have come to call the Texas Shout!"

Miss Blues has been featured cover story in both the February 2000 and October 2007 issues of Southwest Blues Magazine. She has also been a featured artist at the 2007 Arkansas Heritage and Blues Festival (formerly known as the "King Biscuit Blues Festival"), in addition to headlining many other blues venues and festivals all over the United States and Europe. In 2010, Miss Blues shared the stage with B.B. King and Buddy Guy in Lampe, MO.

Miss Blues loves to cook her blues, adding all the sweet & smoky harmonies and spicy & sizzling lyrics you love, belted out with a vocal fire that can only come from a soul that has truly lived through the worst of the rough times and being dirt poor to emerge as a teacher of souls, a feiry shout-style vocalist beyond compare, and a true world ambassador of the history and sound of the blues. It's hard to decide which tastes better - the smokin' hot blues shes serves up or her mouth watering down home cooking! As a blues lover, if you crave the real deal, you've just found it, because ...  Miss Blues is the Blues. Miss Blues was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in 2011. www.missblues.com
