Christine Ohlman and Rebel Montez

Saturday July 16, 2016 @ 8:00 PM

41 Bridge Street is thrilled to welcome The Beehive Queen, Christine Ohlman, and her band Rebel Montez, on Saturday, July 16th at 8:00 PM! Americana duo Lee-Ann Lovelace & George Lesiw will open.

This queen of blue-eyed rock n’ soul, who grew up loving both the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, teased her blonde hair into a beehive (in honor of Ronnie Spector) and never looked back, picking up a guitar and forging a career as a songwriter in the process. Ohlman tours relentlessly, torching clubs up and down the Eastern Seaboard with her band Rebel Montez (featuring Michael Colbath on bass, Cliff Goodwin on guitar, and Larry Donahue on drums). She is the current, long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band, and was featured with the B-52’s during the recent SNL 40th Anniversary post-show concert.

With her trademark, mile-high, platinum beehive hairdo, and an enviable collection of sequins and rhinestones, Ohlman looks like a lady to be reckoned with, and when she opens her mouth to sing, the truth comes out. But underneath it all lurks a no-frills approach to music. In her own words: “I give it to an audience straight, which is the way I like it myself. Yes, I like to shout, and I like to croon, and I love to wail. I just need to get in the groove and rock—not think too much about it—tear it up or soothe it over. I’ve loved rock n’ roll since I was a little girl, and I’ll love it forever. It’s my greatest kick, and my greatest privilege, to be able to get up on a stage and rip it apart. That’s rock n’ roll to me. I’m here to set your soul on fire.” And set your soul on fire she most certainly will—don’t miss the legendary Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez at 41 Bridge Street!
