“Debra has a voice which beautifully combines Celtic and Appalachian sensibilities…deeply satisfying, lyrical and musically elegant.” —Roseanne Cash
Following a life-long desire to sing and perform, Debra Cowan left her job as a California middle school math teacher in 1997 and went to live in Edinburgh, Scotland for six months. There she learned the art of unaccompanied singing. Upon her return to the USA in 1998, she began traveling all over New England performing at any open mic within 100 miles of her new home in Springfield, Massachusetts.
More than 20 years later, she is now a full-time performer who bridges the old and new with a refreshing stage presence. She can be seen in many venues, heard on both terrestrial and Internet radio worldwide, and will travel anywhere to sing. Her four recordings have been met with high praise and in June 2015, she was featured in the UK folk music magazine, Living Tradition. She tours extensively in the United Kingdom and in North America.
She makes her home near Worcester, Massachusetts
“Debra is one of those lucky people who simply have a great voice, she knows how to use it.” —Dave Palmater, Tykes News
