that little girl who came in second on “American Idol” last year, Jessica Sanchez. That girl has serious pipes! Can you tell us about a memorable moment in your singing career? More recently was the time I saw legendary singer Paul Anka sitting in the front row during a performance at the Sherwood Lake Country Club last year. After the set, I was introduced to him and I said, “Excited to meet you sir, I’m such a fan!” He replied, “Well, now I am a fan of yours as well!” What is life like off the stage? In my day job — as a Placer Title Company sales representative — I spend my days meeting with the real estate community in Bakersfield, Frazier Park and Pine Mountain Club. In my free time, I enjoy working out at the gym, gardening and hanging out with my family. This summer I married my best friend, Jeff, bought a house and started my new job as a sales rep. I am the mother of two awesome kids, and I also have two fantastic stepchildren. How would you describe the music scene in Bakersfield? The music scene in Bakersfield is rich and diverse. It seems like there is always somewhere to find great live music any night of the week. I am excited about the opportunity to work with some new people. I am so glad I moved to a place that has such a sincere appreciation for music. What are your hopes for the future of your career? Just to keep on singing. Continue to travel with the band, and work some of the cool venues here in town with the fantastic talent I’m finding in Bakersfield. I would love to play with a band at the (Buck Owens’) Crystal Palace someday. How can people get a chance to hear you? Most of my upcoming gigs are private events. But, I just had an absolutely fantastic night at The Mark restaurant downtown. I love this venue and hope to be a regular on their calendar. We are also working with the management at Cafe Med and Padre Hotel to book some dates for the band. Feel free to get in touch with my manager and husband, Jeff Sarratt, for booking availability: jsarratt@bak.rr.com. And friend me on Facebook, and you can find Hit Machine at Myspace for a few samples.
