A University of Virginia graduate, Calhoun has toured with Jethro Tull, Steve Vai and was seen performing with Ringo Starr on the “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” just two weeks ago. Dave Matthews Band fans also has heard her violin on a couple of tracks on DMB’s “Stand Up.”
The former science teacher at Woodberry Forest still gives private music lessons when she gets back home. But her schedule has been pretty hectic over the past year. Soon after she gets back from Los Angeles, she will be heading off to record a live album with the Hooters.
