Deborah Robinson + Musician in Calgary, AB

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am seriously seeking someone for a duo to start: acoustic, blues, jazz, contemporary, world music, standards as well ... for paid gigs. You are committed, reliable & professional, like me. Hotels, restaurants, coffee & wine bars, house concerts, corporate parties & festivals.

I also teach piano, guitar & art. I have no students in the summer & do not have a full time job. I do not teach on weekends anytime. I am a business person with some connections & can secure some gigs for us & if you can too that would be all the better. Gigs 1-3 nights per week would be ideal.

A seasoned performer from a musical family, I have played at festivals, clubs, concerts, jams, open mics, in bands and as a solo performer. An intuitive creative spirit with many outlets of expression, I am re-entering the music biz, after taking time out to paint, also a visual artist, photographer & social media maven.

If anyone wishes to contact me,
r e d g y p s e e a t s h a w dot ca

I have played solo, and in various bands, and am a composer as well, currently writing an original album.
