Suzanne's all female band "PMS" had wide spread local success in the early 90's. From there Suzanne created and fronted her infamous 3 piece rock power trio "Crank" that was well known for opening for "Ice T", " Bodycount" and "Fishbone" as well as "Mothers Finest". Growing up on a multitude of influences, Suzanne cut her guitar teeth on the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Prince. Suzanne jammed with Janice-Marie, for the first time, in 1984. But, it was the opportunity to perform with Janice-Marie as "A Taste of Honey", at the Universal Amphitheater in 1996 that put the wheels in motions. They were destine to work together, again. It was just a matter of time. And now is the time for A Taste of Honey Janice-Marie and Suzanne not only have something for your sweet tooth, they give it to you with a pinch of cayenne pepper..... "A Taste of Honey", sweeter, hotter, and better than ever. Join us as we Boogie Oogie Oogie 'til you just can't boogie no more.'
