Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez @ Bridge Street Live


Christine Ohlman (a/k/a "The Beehive Queen") is the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band whose sixth critically-acclaimed CD with Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez, "The Deep End," was honored on five national 2010 Top Ten lists. Her latest release is 2011 concert DVD "Live Hive" (so-called after her mile-high platinum beehive hairdo).

 

Her numerous collaborations encompass Grammmy-nominated recordings and have recently included duets with Mac Rebennack, Dion, Ian Hunter, Levon Helm, Marshall Crenshaw, Bonnie Bramlett and The Subdudes. Mixing a fiery brand of rootsy Americana with an old-school soul music flavor, she serves up a style that's been dubbed by SIRIUS/XM's Dave Marsh "Contemporary Rock R&B." Ohlman, who is proud to call Connecticut home, has been named a "Living Legend" by both the Hartford and New Haven Advocates.
