Come out and enjoy live blues at this intimate new venue with a Juke Joint vibe. Debbie has been performing in Huntsville over the decades since the days of the Kaffeeklatsch - has made appearances as a duo at the songwriter evening at the Princess Theater and later as part of a blues women line up on the main stage at the Princess. Most recently she appeared with Microwave Dave at the Cigar Box Festival. She is thrilled to be performing at St. Stephens with her blues band and looking forward to sharing the night with you in this intimate cool venue. Singer, guitar player, and songwriter Debbie Bond has been paying her dues in the Alabama backwoods for over forty years. 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 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”. Debbie's collaboration with British born keyboard / harmonica player (and husband) “Radiator” Rick has added a swampy New Orleans edge to her sound. The pair are regulars on the Southern and European blues club and festival circuit. Huntsville's own legendary Darrell Tibbs will be the heart beat of the evening.
