Notes

Anne Thow had the idea to start Girl Can’t Help It – The Female Journey first and foremost because she loves Journey. She also knows the power of what bad ass women can do when they bring their full selves and talent to the stage and how the audience responds. She’s seen it when she’s filled in on drums for other female tribute bands and wanted to build something of her own. When all that girl power is partnered with the timeless, melodic pop rock songs of Journey, you have a recipe for an unforgettable, electric, estrogen-fueled live music event.

Girl Can’t Help It started to come together when Anne reached out to guitarist Tina Watson. Tina said, “I’ve been a fan my whole life. These songs are in my DNA and Neal Schon writes the absolutely perfect solos for every song.” After their first rehearsal together when Tina nailed the solos in Any Way You Want It and Separate Ways, Anne knew she had found her guitar player. Next she locked in the keyboardist, Brittany Black, who instantly fell into place with her classical piano background and virtuosity. Obviously the singer is a key part of any Journey Tribute, and Mandy Misuna fit the bill perfectly with her powerhouse vocals. She came to one rehearsal and played a show two days later and killed it. Finding the right bass player was the final piece of the puzzle. When Shawna Vance walked in the door with her youthful energy and rocked the bass line to Stone in Love, our journey was complete.

Girl Can’t Help It is the only all female Journey Tribute band faithfully executing classic Journey songs we all know and love. Five women bring their world-class talent to the stage, fueled by their passion for performing and love of making music together. An evening spent with Girl Can’t Help It will make you feel like it’s 1982 all over again in all the best ways. Come rock the matriarchy with us.
