The band’s album titled “Don’t Wait Up” was released in July 2018 and includes six original tunes as well as four cover songs. Since its release, the album has received a lot of airplay including the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. The album has been very well received, reaching the Top 10 in Canada, the Top 50 of Contemporary Blues Albums in the US and three songs have reached the Top 10 for British Columbia. All of this in the first 60 days since the album release.
Deb Rhymer struts the Blues with a sultry, uptown West Coast sound. Drawing on the classics, from the heyday of the Chicago shouters to the strong song writing women of today's North West blues scene, Deb delivers a funky, soulful and sophisticated blues brew for your listening and dancing delight.
Other regions have their favorites, but this new album leaves no doubt that the queen of the blues in western Canada is Deb Rhymer. Her songwriting ("Don’t Wait Up," "There’s the Door") is as tough as nails, and she’s got the voice to match the songs. Rhymer has put together a band that seems to delight in playing the songs, as opposed to just jamming the blues, and they sound great behind her.” - David Vest, Maple Blues Piano Player of the Year
