She’s won a Juno Award, many Maple Blues Awards, and most recently, A Blues Music Award in 2020, garnering the Koko Taylor award in the Traditional Blues Female category. When the pandemic hit, she grabbed her musicians and hunkered down in a Texas recording studio. The result is Pinky’s Blues, named after her pink paisley Fender Telecaster, it’s some of the rawest, most immediate music she’s ever laid down. She’s also hitting the road to play the album for the people.She talks about working again with her friend, Jimmie Vaughan, on her song "Hurricane Girl," plus recording several interesting music videos for the new record, and how she's put together some basic, "how to" guitar playing videos on YouTube.
