She's that good–and that good-natured. Born in Detroit, Deanna spent her early years in Phoenix and New York City, climbing on any available piano bench to plunk and play with preternatural panache.
Today, Deanna Bogart is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and multifaceted musician whose fans value the diversity of her genre-free zone. As a bandleader/singer/songwriter/producer/pianist/sax player, Deanna combines the best of boogie-woogie, contemporary blues, country and jazz into a splendid blend she calls “blusion.” Recognized for her dazzling keyboards, soulful saxophone, smoky vocals and cut-above songwriting, Deanna easily wins the hearts of fans on land and at sea on chartered cruises. She is a featured player in the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Revue, jamming with Tommy Castro, Magic Dick (founding member of the J. Geils Band), as well as prominent guitar slingers. Deanna remembers well her early years as a budding musician and is an avid educator and mentor, sharing her insight and wisdom with students of all ages - and besides all of this she's just a wonderful human being!. Deanna and her band have all that it needs to deliver a show that you won't easily forget, and we're very proud being able to present her to the Panamanian public for the first time! Don't miss her show at the 2015 Boquete Jazz&Blues Festival on Saturday, February 07 at 1:30pm. In addition, we're certain that you'll be able to catch her jamming at some of the 5 after-hours jam sessions during the festival!
