Top Ten Sexiest Guitarists, #3, PJ Harvey

Polly Jean Harvey: #3...is an English musician, singer-songwriter, composer and occasional artist. Primarily known as a vocalist and guitarist, she is also proficient with a wide range of instruments including piano, organ, bass, saxophone, harmonica, and most recently, the autoharp.

...but this is a 'sexy' guitar list so.....

PJ, Harvey

 ...let's get to it!!

...My connection with PJ is through, Mike Mastor, a 'chap' I knew in Vegas. He was born and raised in Liverpool, went to high school with Ringo Starr and knew the Beatles...believe it or not he was best friends with Peter Best. He loved the English 'rockers' and introduced me to PJ in 2004.
Mike was entertainment director at the Mirage back then.

...here is a quote from PJ, and one of the reason I love her, it sounds like me..

"I suppose I give as much as I want to give. I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing."

                                A talented, outspoken 'artist' who is never anything but
                                          honest with her fans...

Top Ten Sexiest Guitarists, #4, Jennifer Batten

Top Ten Sexiest Guitarists: #4 is Jennifer Batten.

Jennifer Batten

 ...once again here are the rules to be considered for my Top Ten...
 1. I must have reviewed you and seen you live...2. You must be sexy (to me), and of course 3. You have to jamm and have a powerful stage presence. 


Stage presents and technical skills are what Jennifer is all about. I met her in LA when I was living in Vegas. She played a gig for some guy (Michael Jackson) the night before. Didn't know of her at the time, but I sure do now.

Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoVoUYeOf5g

She played with Jeff Beck's band for three years, and toured with MJ as his lead guitarists, that's all you need to know about her ability and stage presents.

Able to blast you away or slow it to a ballad, she does it all, and she is a 'native New Yorker.'

                                                       Jennifer Batten

Jennifer Batten: Well, my first girl guitar player influence was my sister (Sheri). She had one and I didn’t, and that made me mad [laughs]! So it was jealousy that got me into playing guitar and I let my parents know that the following year, during Christmas time, I wanted a guitar.

Enjoy:   'Flight of the Bumble Beeeeee'

                             It seems like the guitar has no chance in Jennifer's hands,
                                                   it must do what she wants!

                                                          #4 Jennifer Batten!

Top Ten Sexiest Guitarists, #5, Bekka Lindstrom

...as we enter the Top Five...
...once again here are the rules to be considered for my Top Ten...
 1. I must have reviewed you and seen you live...2. You must be sexy (to me), and of course 3. You have to jamm and have a powerful stage presence. 


#5 is Bekka Lindstrom

Bekka Lindstrom

 I met Bekka outside a theater that was playing 'MoM A Rock Concert Musical' the Fringe Award Winning Musical. I was with one of the producers, I did not know Bekka was in the show. I just though she was an over enthusiastic fan.

When the show started I saw the real enthusiasm, Bekka was wonderful as were all the women in the cast.

Bekka stopped the show with this wonderful tune, that she now owns..."Don't Hold Back' 
I emailed her the next day and we became friends...

Here is a peek at the show, featuring Bekka... http://vimeo.com/25471494 

 ....best way to describe this wonderful artist is her own quote on facebook...
                 
                           "Bekka is an actor who makes her living as a graphic artist,
                                               even though she's actually a writer who sings."

                                              Bekka brings two things to the stage,
                                                                     her amazing talent, and honesty!                                             
                                                          #5, Bekka Lindstrom

 Originally from Perugia, Italy, Eleonora Bianchini is a young Italian singer who creates a warm and charming atmosphere through the sound of her voice. She is inspired by many Brazilian and Latin American artists such as Rosa Passos, Djavan, Caetano Veloso, Mayte Martin and Eva Ayllon. They have all greatly influenced her music, and it is thanks to their art, that she has discovered a secret place inside herself where a passion for Latin music has always existed.
