Singer\, guitar player and songwriter Debbie Bond has been paying her dues in the Alabama backwoods for over 30 years backing many traditional Alabam a blues musicians in the US and Europe\, including Eddie Kirkland\, Jerry "Boogie" McCain and Willie King. She is a blues activist and founded the a ward winning \;Alabama Blues Pr oject\, a nonprofit that promotes and preserves Alabama blues. In rece nt years she has turned to fronting her own band and performing her own mu sic.
\nDebbie's singing has been compared to Maria Muldaur and Bonni e Raitt\, both of whom she cites as musical influences but the truth is th at Debbie does it her way. Her immersion in the blues has deeply flavored her guitar playing\, soulful voice and original song writing\, yet her sou nd is contemporary and original\, incorporating soul\, blues\, rock\, jazz and even country influences. Her partner in life and music\, British born Rick Asherson\, is an outstanding keyboard player and gives their music a honky-tonk\, New Orleans flavored sound. This unique musical synthesis ca n be heard on her latest album.
