Like many blues and soul vocalists of note, “Long Tall Deb” Landolt cultivated her soul/gospel honey-dipped voice in church as a child. Her debut “Raise Your Hands” gained heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s “Bluesville” and garnered attention for both her vocal dynamics and songwriting. Transpacific bluesman Colin John received his early touring miles with Teeny Hodges, Little Mike and The Tornadoes, Henry Grey, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Phil Guy, Big Jack Johnson, and Gary Brooker of Procol Harum. The one-of-a-kind sound of Long Tall Deb and Colin John incorporates a solid blues and soul sensibility cross-pollinated by their respective deep roots in Texas and Hawaii topped with world roots influence gleaned from their travels throughout the world.
