Meet GAY GUITARISTS WORLDWIDE's JULY 2006 "Featured Player of the Month" -
RACHELL WILLHITE -
Guitarist Rachelle Willhite says she grew up as the "All American boy" near
Detroit. That can mean many different things to different people, but to
Rachelle, it was just the beginning of her music and her journey towards finding the
real person she was meant to be.
She started playing guitar at age 8 after watching Thin Lizzy on TV. She
lists her first major musical influence as being Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes.
In the early 1990s, Rachelle did what a lot of musicians did...moved to
Nashville, Tennessee. It was there that she came to terms with being
transgendered. And there she co-founded jazz/rock band COSMONAUT BOB with bass player
DeGroff. The band released one CD, "Return From Reality", in 2002. CB can also be
heard on the Transgender Music Society Compilation Volume 1.
"I consider my music a mix of Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, and
smooth jazz,"
