Debbie Bond

Debbie Bond is an Alabama-based blues artist and roots music advocate who's become a vital force in preserving the state's rich blues heritage. The British-born musician (now Alabama resident) co-founded the Alabama Blues Project to mentor young musicians and honor legendary artists, even earning the Governor's Arts Award for her preservation work. With a soulful voice and gritty guitar skills honed through collaborations with elder bluesmen like Eddie Kirkland, Bond's recent releases like *Blues Without Borders* and *Enjoy the Ride (Shoals Sessions)* showcase her knack for blending traditional Southern blues with contemporary energy. Her music often carries social consciousness while maintaining danceable grooves, making her both a respected educator and a crowd-pleasing performer in the Muscle Shoals music scene.
