Meet Rhythm Guitarist and Keyboardist Kerri ... It was on a Christmas night, when Kerri watched the movie "A Hard Days Night" that she realized she wanted to be a guitarist like The Beatles. From that moment on, Kerri was hooked on music and The Beatles. She formed several bands in high school and college, always learning from mistakes and trying to improve upon them. She also realized that marketing and "hype" was just as important as the bands themselves. While attending college, Kerri was also involved in the theatre department at WPC and earned several leading roles in productions.

Upon earning her BA in Communications from Centenary College, Kerri then asked, "Now what?" She held various day jobs, but she longed to play music for a living. The opportunity finally presented itself in 1993, when Kerri formed the very successful all female cover band, Good Girls Don't.

In a very short time, GGD became a top drawing club band on the East Coast, selling out venues wherever they played. Billed as "your all girl dance alternative," because of the talented and versatile GGD members, GGD was able to play all types of genres of music. Talent, teamed with the infectious chemistry of the five members, GGD had massive appeal. GGD performed at the top clubs on the East Coast including The Osprey and Jenkinson's. The band also opened for Korn, Fuel, Noel Redding and Keanu Reeves and performed at the Roseland Ballroom, Palladium and The PNC Arts Center. One of the band's final performances occurred in 2001,when they appeared on MTV's The Ultimate Cover Band Battle.

Kerri was the founder of America's Only All Female Beatle's Tribute called The Sheatles, who won a Battle of NYC's Beatle Bands and performed at Citifield.

Meet Drummer Dena ...Dena began drumming at a very early age. She fell in love with the music of the Carpenters and the notion of becoming a drummer after seeing a concert and meeting Karen Carpenter backstage. She began private lessons at age eight. Dena studied privately until she was 16. She also joined several 'garage' bands, the first of which when she was 13. She played her first paying gig within the year and was hooked.

Music was put on hold while Dena attended Penn State University, earning a B.S. in Human Development. & Family Studies. Upon returning home to New Jersey, she worked her way back into music, performing with local theatre productions, cover bands and original projects. While earning her post-graduate degree from Seton Hall University (M.A. Education/Counseling Psychology), she worked consistently throughout New Jersey and Manhattan, doing both live shows and studio work.

Lead Vocalist and Bassist, Cathy Beck always had a passion for music and showmanship engrained in her DNA. It all started at the age of 6, when Cathy began singing, playing piano and acting.

Working with several all-female bands on the original circuit in hard rock and rockabilly bands, Cathy went on to enter the coveted NJ/NY/CT cover scene.
