\"Ohlman\"<\/a>(Town of Nelson, NY- Aug. 2013) Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez will be live at the Nelson Odeon Saturday Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30.<\/p>\n

The heart of Christine Ohlman has belonged to rock n’ roll from just about the moment she could walk and talk. By the time she traveled from Boston to New York on an overnight train to make her first record at the age of 16, writing the “B” side on the way to the studio (that “B” side. “I Don’t Know Why,” was\u00a0reissued in 2012 in the UK as a part of a Mainstream Records compilation\u00a0All Kinds Of Highs on the Ace label), she was already a veteran of the local coffeehouse circuit around New Haven, Conn.<\/p>\n

“Bob Shad, the owner of Mainstream, flew down from New York City to hear the band; he signed us the same day,” she says. “We were in the studio practically before we knew what hit us recording a version of Al Kooper’s ‘Wake Me, Shake Me.’ The next thing we knew, we were on the charts and I was in heaven!”<\/p>\n

With her trademark mile-high platinum beehive hairdo and 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\u2014”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\u2013 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.”<\/p>\n

The Nelson Odeon is located at 4035 Nelson Road in Nelson.<\/p>\n
