Whether accompanied by only a piano or singing with a full orchestra, Debbie has drawn raves both for her knowing, sensitive delivery and for her personable and engaging stage presence. The voice that helped define the Tulsa Sound has been honed into an instrument capable of great nuance, emotional subtlety, and a romantic empathy with the great songs of our time.</FONT></div> <div> Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Debbie began touring with <A HREF="candy_canes_photo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Candycanes"><U>The Kandy Kanes</U></A>, an all-girl rock & roll group at the age of 14.  Next, she joined the L.A. based rock band <A HREF="id58.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Buckwheat "><U>Buckwheat</U></A>, touring extensively and cutting three albums with the group for London Records.  After five years with Buckwheat, Debbie moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Debbie was attracted to a Tulsa music scene that was rapidly becoming national in scope, thanks to the success of such Tulsa based musicians as Leon Russell and JJ Cale.  She quickly began making her own contribution to the Tulsa Sound as a top club singer, and before long she was opening for and touring with a wide range of artists, from country greats like Don Williams and the Oak Ridge Boys to top blues and rock acts, including Ray Charles, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, and fellow Tulsan Cale.   Her first solo album, <I>Two Hearts</I>, released on the Churchill/ MCA label, was a Best of the Month pick by Stereo Review.  Alana Nash, writing in that magazine, noted that the album served as a showcase for the Tulsa Sound and presented "a stylish integration of country, blues, and rock."  More recently, Debbie has produced and recorded 2 albums of original spiritual music that have drawn acclaim and provided a great source of inspiration to her many fans all across the country.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" ><B>               </B></FONT>Debbie has exported her version of the Tulsa Sound all over the world.  Performing at international music festivals in England, Austria, Malaysia, Egypt and Bulgaria, she became the first American to win Bulgaria's prestigious Golden Orpheus award.  She has appeared as a guest on a number of national television programs, including "Nashville Now", and has cohosted the Tulsa Channel 6 program, "Six in the Morning" with Rick Wells.  Debbie's stage credits include Ado Annie in "Oklahoma" and Sonia Walsk in "They're Playing Our Song."  She has taught college level courses in songwriting, stage personality and chorus.  Debbie's vocals have been heard on many local, regional and national radio and television spots for a variety of businesses and organizations, including Sonic Drive-in, Greyhound, CITGO and The United Way.  Debbie recently performed at the Betty Ford Center 17th Anniversary Banquet, including a singing presentation to President and Mrs. Ford of an original, commemorative song for the event.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
