Convertible Blondes connect with their fans with a simple approach.  "We write songs about what's going on in our lives.  We all have our good days and bad days and we write it all down.  Our fans relate to our songs because no matter where they live, Australia or West Virginia, we all have similar experiences in our lives."

"We love being in a band", says Gina.  "We are all big music fans, our heroes are the bands we grew up listening to.  Working with the talented musicians who also have great voices in this band is a lot of fun and we are friends too.  When we write our songs we make it a collaboration, incorporating everyone's styles and tastes.  This CD is a collection of songs that we are proud to offer to our fans."
