Born outside Chicago, Deb was influenced by her father, a Chicago Nightclub sensation. Deb began appearing on stage as a young teen at the famous nightclub The Topanga Corral, where she opened for such blues legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner and Taj Mahal. Her much anticipated debut album “Might Just Get Lucky” garnered rave reviews and was written and arranged by Deb. It was a regular on The Living Blues, RMR, Bluesdebut, and Blues411 and radio airplay charts around the globe. Her new CD, Let It Rain featuring a star studded list of blues finest is about to drop, and is anticipated to be an even bigger success.

Jimmy Thackery will always unleash an intense volley of rockin’ blues guitar guaranteed to leave crowds emotionally spent. His double edged guitar dynamics allow him to fire off tracer missiles, bend a note so it will fit under a limbo bar, run off dive bomber riffs, and find space within the trembling of one stinging note. “I put all my senses on hold and find the zone and follow what’s inside.
