Debbie is in demand for her solo shows, as she accompanies herself on guitar, uke and piano.  She shares the songs and stories which were pivotal to her musical journey, which began in the 60s, and continues to this day, while adding a touch of her own songwriting. 

Her audiences love to sing along to songs like Downtown, What’d I Say, In the Still of the Night and many other familiar tunes that we all loved in the age of the transistor radio.
