SUMMARY:Philly blues-soul artist Deb Callahan Band performs at The Lizzie R
 ose Music Room in Tuckerton\, NJ
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia’s own blues and soul powerhouse singer and songw
 riter Deb Callahan has been performing\, touring\, recording and engagin
 g audiences since the late 90s. She’s lit up stages at top festivals inc
 luding Monterey Bay Blues Fest (CA)\, Springing the Blues (FL)\, Bayfront 
 Blues Fest (MN)\, St. John's Blues Fest\, (VI) Briggs Farm Blues Fest (PA)
 \, and WXPN’s XPonential Music Festival in Philly. Her sixth studio albu
 m Backbone dropped in March 2023 to rave reviews\, international airplay
 \, and a six-month run on the Roots Music Report’s Top 50 Blues Albums
 —peaking at #2. Often likened to Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi\, Calla
 han’s sound is unmistakably her own. Backbone was produced by Philly
 ’s Chris Arms and recorded live at Morningstar Studios. Her previous rel
 ease\, Sweet Soul\, was helmed by Grammy-winning producer Tony Braunagel 
 and featured top-tier L.A. session players alongside longtime guitarist Al
 len James.  \n“Backbone” has a blues and funk base and embraces a r
 ange of rock\, soul\, roots and swing styles.  The songwriting reflects 
 the intense impact of world events over the past few years exploring theme
 s of uncertainty\, vulnerability\, being comfortable with and showing up f
 or oneself\, taking a stand\, polarization in beliefs\, freedom and lettin
 g go.  Deb worked with Arms\, Schogger and James to write much of the or
 iginal material and chose two covers that fit in well with the material in
 cluding Percy Mayfield’s “Danger Zone” and Sean Costello’s “Any
 time You Want”. Deb and her core band’s eighteen years plus of perfor
 ming and touring together shines through on this CD\, creating a unique ch
 emistry and an ability to play with natural\, nuanced improvisation.   \
 n\nReview Quotes for Backbone\n"Callahan blends timely probing lyrical con
 tent with classic blues all served up with her fiery take no prisoners pow
 er. Callahan’s voice packs a hefty punch with just a hint of urbane grav
 el while her smooth vibrato smooths those edges into an endlessly inviting
  package.” Matt R. Lohr – Living Blues Magazine\n Backbone\, Deb Cal
 lahan’s first studio album in eight years\, provides plenty of ‘S’ a
 ppeal: soulful\, sultry\, sassy\, and socially conscious. Deb Callahan wan
 ted to make a statement and successfully does so with an album as diverse 
 and soulful as her tremendous singing voice. Emotionally compelling\, Bac
 kbone has just enough sass\, sultriness\, and social awareness to keep lis
 teners engaged throughout Callahan’s personal and musical journey Ken B
 illet - Blues Blast magazine\n“Backbone is another winner from Deb Calla
 han\, who remains one of the most compelling vocalists in the blues and so
 ul genres\, a voice to be reckoned with in the coming years.  Graham Cla
 rke – Blues Bytes\nThe variety of musical material on Backbone snakes 
 stealthily from soul to funk to blues rock with one constant: the exceptio
 nal vocals of Deb Callahan“. “The lady combines the attributes of ski
 lled songwriting\, a deep appreciation of American roots music\, along wit
 h her powerfully affecting vocals” Randall Parrish\, Vivascene\n“Backb
 one swings and grooves from the first note to the last\, powered by Callah
 an’s powerful voice and some extremely sweet playing from her road teste
 d all-star band.  This is very likely one of the best albums you’ll hea
 r this year\; completely irresistible.” —-Hot Wax Album Review- The R
 ock Doctor\n“Callahan has carved a niche for herself up and down the Eas
 t Coast.  Now it’s time for the rest of the USA/Canada to appreciate he
 r modern\, clever lyrics that mostly stay clear of the tired old blues the
 mes”.—Richard Skelly\, Blues Music Magazine\n
