Deann Merchant... Singer/Songwriter/Performer/Radio Host and Animal Activist here for your "listening pleasure"! After many years of musical neglect, illness became the catalyst that cast her into a whole new realm of possibility! Undaunted by her diagnosis of MS, it Inspired her to reach, further & farther to leave no stone unturned!
While Deann now limits, her "live" performances, she still actively records in the studio with her virtual band "Friday Night Bluez"!! Fruitful & fun, it's an aspect of her life, she truly enjoys & hopes to utilize for a long while to come!
Deann continues to explore her musical endeavors through writing & collaborating! She also performs as part of a duo spinoff of FNB called ~Hit & Run~! The pairing of both versatile vocalist & acoustic guitar player Deann and the phemnominal talent of Harpist Mr. Tom Farley, makes them a formidable musical team! Offering a mix of originals & obscure covers, the duo is noted for their sound & visual style!
Deann ia also an avid supporter of "Shelter" animals & contributes to her cause by way of "Music & Online Advocating"! The bands single release "Shelter Dog", available on CDBaby.com, donates 100% of profits to Chance's Haven in Gainesville, TX. to help benefit abandoned & abused animals while they wait to find their "Fur-Ever" homes! For less then the price of a "cup of coffee", you not only get a riveting song, you'll be a part of making a small difference, in the lives of animals!!!
