Christine Ohlman the Beehive Queen LIVE 0 Hot Song Intro

Song Intro...

Saturday Night Live Band vocalist Christine Ohlman, the Beehive Queen, rocks New Haven with her R&B soul's passion.

A real treat for any true R&B, Blues and Rock and Roll fan - I was lucky enough to witness the performance.

Sharing it with you...

Live at Elm City's Cafe Nine September 14, 2007

This queen of blue-eyed rock n' soul grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples.

Teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process.

She's the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band, who sang at SNL's 25th Anniversary telecast, Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary bash at The Garden, and the Central Park Summerstage Tribute To Janis Joplin; appears on Grammy nominees A Tribute To Howlin' Wolf (with Taj Mahal and Lucinda Williams) and Charlie Musselwhite's One Night In America; worked on a musical with Cy Coleman (who maintained her sense of timing is not unlike Peggy Lee's); duets live whenever possible with blues legends Eddie Kirkland and Hubert Sumlin; collaborated with Marshall Crenshaw on a critically-acclaimed track for Labour Of Love: The Music of Nick Lowe, Big Al Anderson on 2007's "Pawnshop Guitars," and Ian Hunter on his latest, "Shrunken Heads"; edited Andrew Loog Oldham's autobiography 2Stoned; worked with Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder & others on the Rhythm & Blues Foundation Awards--all the while continuing to torch clubs up and down the Eastern Seaboard in support of her recordings (Strip, The Hard Way, Radio Queen, and Wicked Time) with her band Rebel Montez.

"I've come here tonight to set your souls on fire," she'll tell an audience. And she will.

Rebel Montez Is:
Michael Colbath - bass, vocals
Larry Donahue - drums, percussion
Cliff Goodwin - Lead Guitar
