DEB SALYER (Bass Guitar, Vocals)

Originally from Conneticut Deb has played in several hi-profile bands. It was in Virginia that she joined an all woman - all original band, "MOXXIE", in this band Deb would be the lead singer and play bass guitar for several years.

Collaborating on their original compositions Moxxie put a lot of time into those songs and it paid off. On their second gig, they opened for rock legends, "Emmerson Lake & Palmer" at the Hampton Coliseum.

Her next project combined her and guitarist Deborah Coleman from "MOXXIE" in a power trio named, "Mis' Behaven" a group that set the audience's on fire, winning showcases for major labels and opening for acts like Delbert McClinton and KoKo Taylor. They had a ball for about three years and eventually went their separate ways.

Deb then formed her own nine piece band, "The R&B All-stars", playing the old music from Stax Records as well as the Temptations and Otis Redding, perfecting her "in the pocket" bass technique along the way. This band would find itself sharing the bill with the Beach Boys, the Spinners, Huey Lewis and The News, and Percy Sledge. Four years later and after playing with what she calls some of the soulfulist people she ever met, the band split up. Some six years later, they still get together on special occasions to play.

After moving to Florida Deb got a call from her friend Deborah Coleman asking her to go on tour, Coleman had gotten a contract with Blind Pig Records and now eight years later she was playing bass again with Coleman. Performing sold out shows not only in the USA but Europe and Japan, Deb toured with Coleman for four years and appeared on her last two albums "Living on Love" and "Live in California Soul Be It".

Deb formed 'Deb & the Dynamics' some years ago and it brings together some stunning and experienced musicians and vocalists who create and exciting and memorable atmosphere wherever they play..
