A native of Arlington, Virginia, she attended Yale University from 1984 to 1988. She was actively involved in Yale's a cappella music community as a member of the group Redhot & Blue. She was a member of the British-style folk-rock band The New St. George from 1989 to 1994. She joined the New York-based Celtic-fusion band Whirligig in 1996, and performed with them through 2002, with appearances at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and Britain's Cropredy Festival.
In 2005, she formed her own jazz-folk hybrid band called The Space Dots, and recorded an album of "acid cabaret" songs with them called Trouble from the Start. Other recent projects of note include Jennifer Cutting's Ocean (2003) album featuring Maddy Prior and Gabriel Yacoub and Well Kept Secrets (2003) with fiddler Rosie Shipley.
