"Having performed and recorded with Deborah, I’m touched by her sweet nature and her
warm and wicked singing and writing talent" PAUL RODGERS

"From and for the heart, soul and feet. No one does what they do. We need them" BBC

Deborah Bonham announces UK and European dates for 2012 with a set including songs from her recently completed new album due for release in late summer. Deborah and the band have recorded a total of 15 tracks Co-Produced with Glenn Skinner (Deborah Harry, Killing Joke). On Drums is Marco Giovino (Robert Plant's Band of Joy, John Cale, Norah Jones). Other guests include pedal steel supremo B.J.Cole and a very special surprise guest. Deborah has recently returned from Nashville, where the album has been mixed by Mike Poole (Mavericks, Robert Plant's Band of Joy, Rickie Lee Jones).

Deborah's last album 'Duchess' (Warner Rhino 2008) was perceived by the press as her finest work to date. Consisting of 13 original compositions, it featured her forceful working band bassist Ian Rowley, keyboardist Gerard Louis, guitarist Peter Bullick and Jerry Shirley of Humble Pie on drums. The live band is now joined by drummer Rich Newman (Sam Brown, Alvin Lee, Steve Marriott, Rory Gallagher). Each song showcases Deborah's soulful singing and her effortless, sensitive approach to a gamut of styles from blues and soul to country and rock, and includes a moving duet with Paul Rodgers on 'Hold On' with Jason Bonham on drums. Reviews of 'Duchess' were glowing: Blues Matters! described Deborah as '...a blues mama par excellence, the USA's Blues Revue listed her as '...one of the New Women of Blues' and Modern Guitars proclaimed '...a celebration of soul, strength and family... the album stands as her finest work to date'.

Deborah's first album 'For You And The Moon' was greatly applauded by the press and saw the single 'Sanctuary' as Radio 1 Simon Bates' 'Record of the Week'. Reviewers were equally impressed with the long awaited follow up album in 2004 'The Old Hyde', which featured Jason Bonham on drums throughout and a special guest appearance from Mick Fleetwood. Classic Rock lead the compliments '...the album has balls...a classy set of bluesy hard rock, Country Music Round-Up simply said '...quite superb' and the influential All Music Guide judged that it was '...one of the best blues-rock albums of the early 21st century... not a bummer in sight'.

The last two years has seen Deborah touring alongside and dueting with Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant and as Special Guest with Nazareth (Dan McCafferty performed his first-ever duet on tour in the UK with Deborah, singing the Lorraine Ellison soul classic 'Stay With Me Baby'). She also performed alongside Ozzy Osbourne in the Czech Republic, where she returned for more shows in January 2011 and also appeared at the massive Harley Davidson festivals in France and Austria (100,000 people).
