One day a thirty - year old viual artist of no uncertain distinction attended a performance by blues legend Ko Ko Taylor, and Winnipeg's vibrant blues scence has never been the same. Since that day, Debra Lyn has been called "Winnipeg's foremost blueswoman" ( J. Monk, Uptown), and "Winnipeg's Reigning Queen of the Blues" (R. Williams, Winnipeg Free Press), and for good reason. Her band always includes the cream of the city"s top roots musicans, and the sheer force of her personality means good times are guaranteed. Two critically-acclaimed CD's ( Lock Up Your Sons" - 2004 and "Bootleg" - 2006) filled with original material have showcased the depth and range of her uncommon talent. Her music has been described as "guitar drenched Chicago-style ripsnorters" all the way through to "sizzling, smoking, sexy blues rockers." Her lyrics have been called, "sad and sweet and down and dirty" as well as "tough and tender" and "honest to a fault" Whether leading a band, or in a duo, Debra Lyn's love of music ,people and performing creates an unforgettable experiance, and leaves the listener with a lingering desire to hear what's next.
Debra Lyn, you AMAZE me! Thanks for a great jam and such inspirational groove last night... man, do you ever rock. I need to come hear you play more often. And take notes. :) ha ha Hope your guitar survived & that you had a great birthday, my friend.
Hey Debra, Thanks for joining the site. How you doing? Getting geared-up for summer? Just thought to let you know theres new tracks on the site. Sounding much better than the last with Trent's help. These are the Originals I'm working on now. I'm in Edmonton getting ready to re-record Bass tracks. Then back to Winnipeg. Let me know what you think. Please feel free to leave a comment in the blog regarding feedback. I appreciate all comments. Recording is going we'll, should be done very soon. 'Timeless' (Box set) is already completed. Stay in touch... Nikko
