From Wikipedia:
She dropped out of Houston's Langham Creek High School to pursue her music ambitions.[1] In 1999 she moved to Austin, Texas. In 2001, Wonderland lost her apartment lease when her landlord fell ill, and she decided to live out of her van for a while (two years) because she was on the road so much, spending over 300 days a year on the road performing.[1]
Wonderland's instrumental abilities include acoustic and electric guitar, electric mandolin, slide guitar, trumpet and piano. Although she is primarily a blues artist she likes to incorporate elements of country, swing, zydeco, surf, gospel, soul, and occasionally cumbia into her musical mix. She most often performs with Cole El-Saleh (keyboards and key-bass) and Robert Michael Hooper (drums).
In February 2008, she released "Miss Understood" on the Bismeaux Productions label.[2] The title song from Miss Understood has remained in the Top 50 on the 'Roots Music Report' chart ever since the album's initial release.[3] Her fans include Bob Dylan,[4] and Ray Benson, founder of Asleep at the Wheel. Benson produced Miss Understood, and has been a song writing collaborator with her for many years. Wonderland credits several other blues and Texas musicians as influences on her music. One notable is Austin singer/songwriter Terri Hendrix. Wonderland covered two Hendrix songs, ("I Found the Lions" and "Throw My Love"), on Miss Understood.
Wonderland has been involved in a large variety of album recordings. Several were self produced on independent labels. She was the lead singer fronting the band Imperial Monkeys. Wonderland released Bloodless Revolution (2008),[5] for South by Southwest. Today it is only available in an MP3 download format. Wonderland is the primary singer on the Jerry Lightfoot's Band of Wonder Texistentialism CD with Jerry and Vince Welnick (Grateful Dead, Tubes.)[6] Wonderland was a founding member of the Loose Affiliation of Saints and Sinners (with Papa Mali, Eldridge Goins, Guy Forsyth, and others), with several of her songs being featured on their Sessions from the Hotel San Jose Rm. 50 CD.[6] She was also the lead guitarist in the all-girl, southern rock band Sis DeVille (other members include Shelley King, Sarah Brown, Lisa Pankratz and Floramay Holliday), and a founding member of the Austin Volunteer Orchestra.[6]
Wonderland's virtuosity has earned her an appearance on Austin City Limits.[7] She has also had her music used on NBC's Homicide and Fox's Time of Your Life. She was a headlining artist at the annual Rochester International Jazz Festival summer 2009 at the Eastman Theatre and New York.

Great set of pipes there. Tedeschi and Joplin on steroids, with a bit of Lang thrown in for good measure (But I'm sure she's been around longer that Lang)
