This queen of blue-eyed rock n’ soul, who grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples, teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back.
She’s the long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band. SNL40’s anniversary post-show concert also featured her star turn onstage with Jimmy Fallon, Elvis Costello and the B-52s.
Her latest CD, The Deep End, was honored on five national Top Ten lists and features multiple featured guests including Ian Hunter, Dion DiMucci, and Marshall Crenshaw, Levon Helm, and others. Ohlman topped the Alternate Root.com’s Readers’ Poll as top Americana vocalist, joining other winners Paul Thorn, The Mavericks and Rodney Crowell.
Rebel Montez: Lorne Entress, Drums Chris Bickley, Lead Guitar Michael Colbath, Bass
Ohlman’s legendary voice and stage presence (she’s known as “The Beehive Queen” for her towering blonde hairdo) have most recently been featured on Dion’s 2024 album “Girl Friends”, where she shares two duets with the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer (their friendship dates back to his duet with her on “The Deep End”’s vintage soul classic “Cry Baby Cry”), and on an upcoming 2-disc LP tribute to the late, great blues guitarist Matt Murphy. She’s been seen and heard at the AMA Conference in Nashville; The Royal Academy at Ghent, Belgium; The PBS series “Music City Roots” with Bonnie Bramlett, Sarah Potenza and the McCrary Sisters; the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s Tribute To David Bowie; on numerous guest vocal shots on the HBO series “Vinyl” that feature a duet with Elvis Costello; on both SNL’s 45th and 40th.
