The gritty, pretty, super soulful rock singer from New York brings a
biting edge to music that makes people sit up, take notice and leave with
a smile on their face.
Jill performed as back up and opening work for illustrious artists ranging
from Kelly Clarkson to Dee Snider to 98 Degrees to Enya, and on major television shows like “The Late Show with
David Letterman,” where she performed with the band Third Eye
Blind. Before appearing on CBS’s “Rockstar Supernova,”
Jill was also the female lead singer for the West Coast touring company
of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Now married to Carmine (see below) they
just welcomed their new son into the world (he should be in the band within
