Biography

McKee is from Jackson, Mississippi, and has also lived in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. She worked as a pianist as early as age 14, but had few professional female musician role models and chose to pursue a degree in accounting from Millsaps College. After deciding to change her career path, McKee moved to Austin, TX, and became an active part of the music scene. She was invited to tour with her hometown friend Greg "Fingers" Taylor as a member of his female backing band The Ladyfingers for Jimmy Buffett's summer tour in 1990. When the tour ended she moved to New Orleans to join the band Evangeline, providing keyboards, accordion, and vocals. Two months after McKee joined the band Jimmy Buffett, signed Evangeline to his MCA Nashville imprint, Margaritaville Records, and toured as his opening act. The group was successful for a time, and disbanded in the late 1990s.
McKee moved to Orlando, FL, and eventually released I'm That Way in 2009, an album of Bobby Charles covers. Bobby was so pleased with her interpretations of his songs that he invited her to sing with him on his final recording "Timeless." "I'm That Way" was followed by Next to Nowhere in 2012 and "Sugarcane Revival" in 2015. McKee's music has found a resonance with a community called "Swamp Sistas." "Sistas" are typically southern women who are interested in supporting each other artistically and personally. Membership in the Facebook group exceeded 1,500 members in June 2012, and is currently nearing 2,500. McKee describes her perceptions of the group:

In the tranquil town of Timberline, a 900-pound grizzly bear named Boog has his perfect world turned upside down after he meets Elliot, a one-antlered mule deer. After Elliot messes up Boog's nature show, they end up tranquilized by Boog's owner Ranger Beth and then her friend Sheriff Gordy tells her to release them into the Timberline National Forest before open season for only 3 days. But when hunting season comes, it's up to Boog and Elliot to rally all the other forest animals and turn the tables on the hunters. In the end, Boog decides to stay in the forest and says goodbye to Beth (who came back to take Boog home).
