     A singer with a resonant, sultry voice, a consummate fingerstyle guitarist, and a master of lap slide guitar, Flower draws on traditional, contemporary and original material that remains true to the power of the blues.  She also is a highly respected teacher of blues styles and teaches as well as performs internationally.
    After moving to Denver in the early 70s, Flower toured the college coffeehouse circuit with her singing partner Katy Moffatt.  Then she settled down to raise two kids, performing regionally and teaching at the Denver Folklore Center Music School and its successor, the Swallow Hill Music School.
    In 1993, after a stint as guest artist during Blues Week at Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, WV, Flower took to the road again, quickly building a national career.  She performs regularly at blues festivals throughout the country and abroad, for blues societies and other venues.  Focus of a feature article in Fingerstyle Guitar magazine (August, 2000),  she also took third place twice (in 01 and 03) at the National Fingerpicking Guitar Championship.
