This Just In...

Hey Y’all!

I am excited to share with you that I will be doing some gig dates in Kilkenny & Dublin, Ireland next month with Ireland's Jazz & Blues artist, Nigel Mooney. He will be releasing his latest album, Mooney's Blues, which will include a blues tune that I wrote called Me and The Mouse. I am happy to be the special guest vocalist performing with Nigel for his CD release concerts.  I will also have some separate dates that are booked under my name, backed by Nigel and his bands. During my stay in Dublin, I will be recording a couple of songs with Nigel that will be released on his next CD project. I'm giving a special shout out to Music Export Memphis' Export Bank Program for making this opportunity possible! Please check out their link below. MEM is doing so many great things for Memphis and Memphis' musicians. As stated in their mission, they create opportunities for Memphis artists to showcase their music outside of the city, building their careers and our city’s international reputation as a music mecca. I am truly thankful for this opportunity. Peace & Love!

Amazing reviews for I Remember Rio

“This Memphis-Soul seasoning is what places this recording apart from the myriad of other recordings devoted to Brazilian music (reflecting Swiney's time spent as a background singer for Al Green). Whether Swiney sings tried-and-true Bossa Nova like ‘Dindi’ and ‘Girl from Ipanema’ or her original (and humorous) ‘Bossa Nova Casanova,’ Swiney makes this long-popular style of music with her deep Memphis roots.”

C. Michael Bailey - All About Jazz

"I Remember Rio, is an homage to the music of Brazil, with compositions that evoke both the gyrating rhythms of city life and the sand-lapped cadences of the beach."

Brian Zimmerman - Jazziz

"Deborah Swiney brings a strong and Sarah Vaughan-esque voice to deliver soulful reads of Brazilian on this infectious release."

George W. Harris - Jazz Weekly

" This is a great showcase for not just Swiney, but the entire Memphis jazz community."

Alex Greene - Memphis Flyer

"A tasty vocal outing that hits all the right notes, this is a real treat for those who like their samba with a new kind of sway to it."

Chris Spector - Midwest Record
