Description
Debra Cowan was once asked what kind of songs she writes. Her reply? “Bad ones. Besides, there are so many good songs out there written by others and they should be sung.” Her captivating warm alto carries each folk song she chooses with such emotion that you’ll forget that they were written by others.
Debra Cowan is one of today's foremost interpreters of contemporary and traditional songs from England, Ireland, Scotland and North America. Debra has two acclaimed solo recordings to her credit, “The Long Grey Line” and “Dad's Dinner Pail”, both released on the independent recording label, Falling Mountain Music. Her third recording, “Fond Desire Farewell” produced by former Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks is due to be released in early 2009. Debra has delighted audiences in folk music venues and festivals all over North America and the United Kingdom and makes her home near Worcester, MA.
