Singer, guitar player and songwriter Debbie Bond has been paying her dues in the Alabama backwoods for over 30 years and is now on her way to Ventnor for the first time.
Influenced by the famed sounds of Muscle Shoals, her impressive musical story includes years of performing with older traditional Alabama blues musicians, including Johnny Shines, Sam Lay, Eddie Kirkland and Willie King. Her immersion in Alabama blues has deeply flavoured her guitar playing, soulful voice and original song writing – yet her sound is contemporary and original, incorporating soul, blues, and jazz influences.
Debbie will be playing original songs and some familiar tunes, accompanied by ‘Radiator Rick’. With Debbie’s music, tales of backwoods, juke joint memories and, if the heatwave continues, the Alabama feeling will be complete.
The event begins at 20:00 at Ventnor Arts Club, 13 High Street.
