AND NOW.......A FEW BIO NOTES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rhondda Nunes was born in the heart of the California

inland delta in Stockton, CA; about 50 miles south of Sacramento and 80 miles east of San Francisco, CA. She studied jazz and blues with famed high school band director Mel Won; whose jazz bands at Franklin High School (Stockton) regularly placed in firsts at statewide jazz competitions.

Receiving numerous scholarship offers, Rhondda chose to attend UCLA where her Piano Sonata in One Movement received

a College of Fine Arts Dean's Award. Graduating cum laude

with a degree in Music Composition/Theory, Rhondda was offered

a teaching assistantship at the University of Pacific in her hometown (Stockton) where she taught music theory, keyboard harmony and eartraining. After getting her M.M.

in Composition from the Dave Brubeck Conservatory of Music at Pacific; Rhondda decided to "Fly without a net" and is not affliated with a university.

Rhondda has just completed a film score for the indie movie "From Inside Out" ( coming full circle from her studies in film composition with UCLA'S Film Music Professor David Raksin[also Frank Zappa's composition teacher] ). She has performed with many nor-cali bands in the styles of blues, rock, jazz, latin, "old-school",soul

gospel---as well as continuing her work as a "serious" composer(whatever the hecka that means...). Her band

Rhondda Nunes and the Rockin' Blues Xpress aims to deconstruct (and then reconsruct the Rockin' Rhondda way)

blues originals ( for example, her cover of "Crossroads"

harkens back to the Robert Johnson original, not the more common Eric Clapton version);n' add a "funky bluesy" imprint derived from her personal keyboard and vocal style.

Be it jazzy hip-hop, singer-songwriter, rock, blues, R' n' B',latin or even punk it's all "bluesy" if Rockin' Rhondda is at the helm.

*And Now*....A Few Words From Rhondda>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Some of you may ask...why spend $5.00 for a CD with only 3 songs on it in the age of digital download...here's why:

1. The "real copy" has my signature on it.

2. It also has my artwork version of the

"Faker Laker" Lyric of version 1 n' the

"Phyllicious" 'tude. *{Dude}*

3. I'll give you the back story n' dish...

Maybe future song upgrades. Invitations to

Public gigs. Only with your permission of

course. I would "arrest spammers" if I could.

But 'enuff 'bout me-

Kings" will be at the Valley Brew in Stockton,CA on

Monday, July 25th,2005: from 6:00--8:00 pm, 157 West Adams.Look for the new release date for version 3 TBA!!!
