Few performers in the music industry today can claim the longevity and respect earned by Genya Ravan. Always a pioneer, Genya formed Goldie and the Gingerbreads in the early sixties, touring behind a string of European hits with the Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds and Hollies as the first all female rock and roll band. Later she resurfaced back in the US as the powerful voice of Ten Wheel Drive, one of the original horn jazz-fusion bands. In the seventies she expanded her repertoire becoming the world's first independent female producer, with critically acclaimed records by Ronnie Spector and the Dead Boys, 'Young Loud and Snotty', labeled the ultimate punk album by many reviewers. During the same period Hilly Krystal summoned Genya to head up CBGB Records In 2003 she received critical acclaim for her memoir, Lollipop Lounge one of the great tales of Rock and Roll survival. She also hosts two monthly radio shows for Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius/XM; 'Chicks and Broads' in which she covers the often forgotten music of female artists from the 40's to the present, as well as 'Goldie's Garage' in which she continues her long career of showcasing new and unsigned bands.
