UltraViolet Is….

“Before Tori, before Alanis, before Jewel, before the Lilith Fair, there was UltraViolet, one of Pensacola’s most respected and durable rock bands, proving that girls and guitars mix as smoothly as, well, girls and drums. There are no guys in UltraViolet, making it the best-known all-female band in Northwest Florida. But don’t think that the band, which has been performing in Pensacola since the early ’90s, is a novelty because the band rocks. Hard.” – Troy Moon, Pensacola News Journal

Formed in 1992 as an all-girl band, UltraViolet quickly established a hard-rocking presence in the Pensacola area. What could have easily been a flash-in-the-pan novelty act became a staple of the music scene and has continued to rock for over 25 years. Original founding members, Diana Bailey and Cindy Symington, provide the musical and spiritual backbone of the group.  The lineup has changed over the years with the group remaining an all-female combo until 2016. The band continues to evolve and remains a musical force to be reckoned with!
