FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DEB RYDER RELEASES HER FIRST LIVE ALBUM! A KILLER BAND, SPECIAL GUESTS, AND A CLASSIC MUSIC ROOM…
Multi award winning Contemporary Blues, Soul and Americana singer/songwriter and performer Deb Ryder is known worldwide for her dynamic vocals, sizzling stage presence, signature arrangements and impeccable smart songwritng. It should come as no surprise that Deb’s signature talent didn’t happen overnight – she’s been working at it all her life.
Born in Chicago Illinois, she began singing at the age of five joining her Dad, crooner Al Swanson on stage at several popular venues and churches in the area. Deb’s musical career began in her early teens when her mother moved the family to California and along with her stepfather opened the renowned Rock and Blues club the Topanga Corral. There, she opened for and performed with such legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Taj Mahal and Canned Heat, all regulars at the club. These artists mentored Ryder, and it was then that her vision of herself as a singer, songwriter and performer began to take shape.
Ryder enjoyed a very successful professional career performing on numerous national television commercials, motion pictures, and Las Vegas musicals, and had a long run as a session artist in L.A. Her first record “Might Just Get Lucky”, recorded and produced by Deb and husband, bassist Ric Ryder was released in 2014 on her label BEJEB RECORDS, and put her on the blues radar. She then teamed up with Grammy award winning Producer / drummer Tony Braunagel, and released four critically acclaimed, chart topping records, “Let It Rain”, on BEJEB RECORDS in 2013, “Grit Grease & Tears”, “Enjoy The Ride” and “Memphis Moonlight” on VizzTone Records from 2015 – 2021.
Her new album, “Live and Havin’ Fun”, was produced by her husband/bass player Ric W. Ryder and recorded at the iconic music room The Mint Los Angeles. The album features familiar names Johnny Lee Schell, Tony Braunagel, Jim Pugh, and Ric W. Ryder, plus Tex Nakamura, Alan Maggini, Lon Price, and Paul Litteral, as well as special guests Albert Lee, Joe Sublett, Joey Delgado, Artur Menezes and Big Llou Johnson.
“Ryders musical mentors included such greats as Etta James, Taj Mahal and Big Joe Turner. Here, as tunesmith and vocal interpreter, she does those forebears proud, and stands tall alongside them.”
