Breedlove

“The first guitar I used to gig full time was a Breedlove Dreadnought. I deviated briefly and used a Yamaha concert body for a couple of months before returning to using a Breedlove C250/EO Concert body. I love the pickups, the tuner and the string-thru bridge and have been using that model ever since. I also play a Breedlove Jumbo which I used most recently to record the entirety of my solo record, “For All Ears.” Currently, my main axe is a Breedlove C25/SRe.”

Lady Obscure Interview

I began my full time musical career roughly 4.5 years ago. At the time I was waiting tables and bar tending at two different restaurants. I had been filling in with a couple of bands playing guitar and singing backup vocals at their local gigs. Over time I discovered that there was a realistic outlet for my own voice to be expressed and began seeking gigs on my own.
