Flutes/Keyboards/Hammond B3
New Album soon to be released.
Original, soulful, groove oriented, accessible.
Mindy played flute with Albert King at age 19.
At a young age, Mindy learned to read music before she could read words. She has been playing keys since age 4, and flute since age 9.
Although classically trained, Mindy's earliest creative influences were blues and jazz, and later, soul, funk, roots, rock n roll….and anything else she could wrap her flute or keyboards around.
Over the years, Mindy has performed with Albert King, Michael Bloomfield, Boz Scaggs, Nick Gravenites, It’s A Beautiful Day, Dan Hicks, Charlie Musslewhite, Harvey Mandel, Ray Obiedo, Roberta Donnay, and Grammy winner Terrance Simien, among many others.
Her blend of blues, jazz, funk, and soul is rhythmically infectious and has been widely acclaimed. It is really a treat to experience such an impassionate, soulful performer as she mixes musical genres with grace and ease.
