Born in North Carolina, BeeDee got her first start in the noise making business singing in the Baptist choir. Choir singin' was nice, but things changed.

From the first time she heard her granddaddy play clawhammer banjo and imitate a train whistle on his harmonica, her soul was captured by the raw sounds of hillbilly music. Then something called rockabilly floated past this gals' ears, and she was completely smitten. That raucous rhythm found a home deep in her veins, and soon she was a bonafide junkie. BeeDee got her first guitar at the age of 13 and started in on it, finding chords to back up her own crooning. Later she picked up the string bass and has played both guitar and string bass in several bands, including bluegrass, oldtime country western swing, and honkytonk. She's freelanced around musically a bit with some other things too, but these are the styles that resonate with a big bang.
