Following a three-year stint as John Mayall’s lead guitarist, Wonderland has returned to solo work, recently releasing Tempting Fate, her 10th studio album and first for Alligator Records. The album features guest appearances by Alvin, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Red Young, Marcia Ball, Shelly King, Cindy Cashdollar and Jan Flemming.
She is currently touring to support the release which was produced by Dave Alvin. Wonderland plays the The Narrows Center For The Arts in Fall River, Mass., on Nov. 18 and of StageOne in Fairfield on Nov. 19.
A native of Houston, Wonderland made the move to Austin in 1999 at the urging of Doug Sahm who said “it (Austin) was the land of free guitar lessons.”
