Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band was a staple of the State College music scene from the mid eighties through the nineties The group disbanded in 1999 and Tonya Brown, a.k.a. Queen Bee, passed away unexpectedly in 2001. While the band had seen its lineup change many time in its 14 year existence and many talented musicians passed through the band, its soul was always Tonya. Although the band has played sporadically since its breakup there really is no replacement for Tonya.
Below the fold are three videos from 1990, a time, in my estimation, when the band had its most talented lineup and Tonya was at her peak. Enjoy.
