Deanna Knight

Event Description

Record Release Concert & Cabaret

Deanna Knight’s musical pilgrimage spans a lifetime of diverse experiences. Singing telegrams and choral tours to swingin' big band and gypsy-jazz, psychedelic rock to sacred ceremony. Her genre-fluid songwriting is a reflection of this odyssey and a recent return to her soul song is reaching into the depths of the human heart and mind with a deep reverence for humanity and our planet.

Deeply rooted in the Vancouver gypsy–jazz scene for over 20 yrs as the "sultry and dynamic chanteuse" of The Hot Club of Mars, Knight’s partnership with world renowned luthier and guitarist Michael Dunn landed the 7 piece ensemble many prestigious jazz and folk festival stages.

Her long awaited sophomore album 'Every Little Spark' has come to light and features some of Canada's finest musicians. An Earth Day 2024 release stands as a fitting testament to Deanna's writing resurgence, honouring her lifelong dedication to the symphony of life and the profound connection between music, the soul, and our planet.

Deanna will be backed up by a band of seasoned Vancouver musicians including Simon Kendall on keys, Geoff Hicks on drums, Eric Reed on guitar/ banjo/ mandolin and Tom Neville on violin.

The evening will open with a cabaret of talented friends and special guests including Dawn Pemberton, Andrea Menard, Kat Single-Dain and others.
