The Debbie Bond Band (USA)

American Singer, guitar player and songwriter Debbie Bond has been  performing for decades in the Alabama backwoods and is now a regular on  the Southern US and European club and festival circuit.        Influenced by raw juke joint blues and the famed sounds of  Muscle Shoals, Debbie's impressive story includes years of performing  with traditional Alabama blues musicians, like Johnny Shines, Eddie  Kirkland, Willie King, Shar Baby, Little Jimmy Reed and more. Immersion  in Alabama roots music has deeply flavored her guitar playing, soulful  voice and original song writing, giving her a contemporary and original  sound, with soul, blues, and jazz influences.        Debbie's collaboration with British born keyboard and harmonica  player “Radiator” Rick has added a swampy New Orleans edge to her sound. Debbie is a blues activist and founder of the award-winning Alabama  Blues Project, a non-profit dedicated to promoting and preserving the  state’s blues heritage. She is the recipient of numerous awards,  including a “Keeping the Blues Alive Award” from the Blues Foundation,  and a prestigious “Coming Up Taller Award” for her blues education work  with the Alabama Blues Project. She has been recognized by the Alabama  Music Hall of Fame as a “Blues Achiever” and the national Blues Hall of  Fame as a “Great Blues Artist”.
