BIO:

Deborah sings from her heart and soul. Her high energy swing, cool bossa and sultry ballads are a beautiful blend of clear, crisp vocal excellence and high quality musicianship. She delights audiences with her original styling on Jazz and Blues classics as well as her own original compositions.

 

Originally from New England, she studied music and drama at Rhode Island College and with a vocal coach from Berklee College of Music. In addition, she participated in numerous workshops and performances in local theater throughout Rhode Island as well as being a very active performer in the Jazz scene in RI, performing in her own band, with numerous alumni and teachers from Berklee and RI colleges.

After 3 years of traveling and performing throughout the US, Deborah, with her long time musical partner Ken Burkhart, settled in South Florida for several years.

She became a board member for the Swing and Jazz Preservation Society of Palm Beach, and also performed in concert for them with her Jazz Quartet and as a guest vocalist with Bill Allred's Classic Jazz Band.

 

Her ongoing performing and writing partnership with the incomparable and always exciting Ken Burkhart, on Hammond B3 organ, piano and back-up vocals, was one of the blessings of her life...and their original CD can still be heard by clicking on the link or her photo above.  

One of this partnerships special gifts was the incredible blending of their voices on very original duets, which had become some of their most requested songs.

Sadly her long term musical partner and best friend left this earth on in November of 2023, but his inspiration lives on in her music.

​

Deborah can now be seen performing in a duo, trio, quartet or quintet format performing in New England in various venues including clubs, restaurants and art galleries, and private functions.
