Биография

Deidre McCalla plainly admits what every rocker knows - life begins with an acoustic guitar. Affectionately dubbed the "dreadlocked troubadour" by The Miami Herald, Deidre McCalla and her music embrace and celebrate the power and diversity of life. Ms Magazine named Deidre’s first Olivia recording "Don’t Doubt It" one of 25 Classic Women’s Music albums. Her second album for Olivia "With A Little Luck" received a San Francisco Cable Car Award and was declared one of the "Ten Best Albums of the Year" by the Oakland Tribune. Deidre’s most recent release "Playing for Keeps," on her own MaidenRock label, was listed as one of the "Best CDs of the Year" by Rhythms Magazine. With five critically-acclaimed albums under her belt and shared stages with a long list of notables that include Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, Holly Near, Cris Williamson, and Odetta, Deidre McCalla has captivated audiences from Maui to Maine, college coffeehouses to Carnegie Hall.
