A Note From Lynn: Deering and Down

As I mentioned in this earlier blog entry I took my friend, Paul Lucas, to the Reubens. I thought that taking a musician to Memphis would be a lot of fun. It was!

Meeting Deering and Down:

Paul has played guitar professionally for many years and has musical friends, of course, everywhere. At Sun Studio, he introduced me to Lahna Deering and Rev Down of "Deering and Down", and we were lucky to be able to hear some of their work.

Deering and Down

If you visit their Bandcamp page, you’ll hear one of their many original compositions: "Ain’t no Secret".

After listening to them, Paul said "isn’t it amazing that they’re not famous." I agreed. Lahna has the most unique voice, and both are outstanding musicians and performers. As co-creators of original lyrics and melodies, they have received praise from coast to coast. I thought it would be fun to introduce their music to a completely new audience.

I’m wondering: if you listen to their album, "Out There Somewhere", can you tell me why they aren’t famous?

Lynn’s Friend Paul Lucas:

You can find my friend, Paul, at www.paullucasmusic.com. He is a composer, performer, and teacher. We’ve known each other since grade 5!
