Testimonials
"Debra, an enchanting chanteuse, delights audiences with playful and seductive performances of her charming repertoire." -- Bonita and Bill
"Savor the sultry fashionings of Debra's jazzy renditions of classic confections."-- Linda
"Debra is an amazing vocalist who has a special ability to connect with her audience. She brings passion and a bit of flair to every performance." -- Leslie and Michael.
"We enjoyed dinner at the Villa D'Este in San Francisco last night accompanied by a great show. They have a diverse troop with varied talent styles, each a treat. The best way to describe Debra's performance is a true reincarnation of one of my favorite singers, Clara Bow, the IT Girl, characterized as Betty Boop. She hit every note and stayed in perfect character. If you haven't yet, you have to experience this event, held every first Monday of the month at the Villa D'Este, a classic Italian family restaurant."
"Debra made Bob Sarlatte's surprise birthday party so wonderful! We all enjoyed her choice of music and songs. She really made the party a special occasion!" --Catherine Sarlatte

Stay tuned for new performance dates
It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the Sunday Jazz residency at Maykadeh Restaurant. While I’m grateful for the past 14 months of enriching experiences, I’m also excited to embark on new musical adventures!
A huge thank you to my incredible bandmates, Dave Austin and Bob Blankenship and the amazing Maykadeh team, and the special guest singers who made each show unique. Most importantly, thank you to my supportive fans, friends and family.

Summer fun and music for you!
Is your summer turning out the way you planned? Mine isn’t and contrary to what that sounds like, it’s turned out to be really wonderful! Our plans were to spend a week in June on a houseboat on Lake Shasta. That plan fizzled out when the boat’s motor died and sent the boat to drydock for most of the summer. So, we pivoted… we thought, “Why not keep with the boat theme and check out one of our bucket list destinations, Alaska? Through the magic of the internet, in one morning we were able to book a Princess Cruise to Alaska’s Inside Passage leaving from San Francisco for the same dates as our original plans. For locals, traveling by ship to Alaska from San Francisco offers two bonuses: being able to carry on two huge suitcases per person and the amazing experience of sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge on a giant cruise-ship.
Alaska is something else indeed! All the sights of natural beauty are super- sized. We saw whale, eagles, waterfalls, spectacular glaciers and icebergs.
Once aboard the ship, I learned about “The Voice of the Ocean,” a singing contest mimicking the TV show of the same name. Even though I was on vacation to relax and see new places, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to audition for the show. With the help of my Lola character, I ended up being one of the six finalists. I didn’t win the competition, but I enjoyed the experience and being being treated as a mini celebrity aboard the ship. What was surprisingly the most challenging part of the experience wasn’t the bright lights, performing for hundreds of people nor the pressure of competition, it was balancing on heels at the front of the ship during a very choppy stretch of ocean during my actual performance!
