About

The Deb Rhymer Band

since circa 1999
The Deb Rhymer Band is a Victoria British Columbia Canada favourite. The Deb Rhymer Band features Kelly Fawcett on guitar, Phil Albert on bass, Andy Graffiti on drums and Deb Rhymer on vocals. Deb and the band have played all the various clubs and pubs in the Victoria music scene as well as a number of blues events and festivals. The band hosts Sunday Blues Services, the longest running blues jam in the Pacific Northwest. The Deb Rhymer Band was nominated for the 2018 New Artist of the Year at the Canadian Maple Blues Awards. In addition, their latest CD Don't Wait Up made it to the semi-finals for the best self-produced CD competition by the International Blues Challenge. Deb Rhymer struts the Blues with a sultry, uptown West Coast sound. Drawing on the classics, from the heyday of the Chicago shouters to the strong song writing women of today's North West blues scene, Deb delivers a funky, soulful and sophisticated blues brew. From Texas to Chicago, to Louisiana and the blues delta, this band covers it all.
