Rhea has played everywhere from the sandy shores of San Diego to all over New York City. Her venues have been bars to backyards, rooftops to restaurants, beaches to barns and lots of in between places. She readily engages her talents with a large circle of musical guests and performs with bands as well as solo. Her talents are diverse and unique. Since Rhea is also a sign language interpreter, it is not unusual to see songs signed as well as sung. She also lent her musical prowess to the creation of the theme song for an up and coming comedy show.
Rhea has an EP of original material produced by award winning engineer Sven-Erik Seaholm from 2008. After taking her show all over this great nation on an inspiring road tour last year, she just released her second recording, "Number Two" in November of 2014.
