MINDI ABAIR - That's Pretty Good For a Birthday Girl
Superstar musician and songwriter MINDI ABAIR took some time to chat with me after finishing her latest album. She's been recording music for twenty years and over a dozen albums, but this her third studio project as Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers. Mindi shared her musical life story from zero to fifty, as May 23rd is her milestone birthday. And I wish I had her energy and drive, but I am sure those qualities must come from doing what she loves everyday.

Mindi Abair Concert Part 2
Mindi Abair was born in St. Petersburg, Florida and spent much of her early life on the road with her father's band, The Entertainers. Abair set sonic trends and broke all the boundaries as she defined the less traditional future of jazz. She infused acoustic guitar and pop/rock sensibilities of the day with saxophone, and created a genre all her own with pop vocals mixed with strong saxophone melodies and soul and rockrhythms.
