<p>Debra's CD, "The Hopeful Romantic", has won a spot on www.talkinbroadway.com's "TOP TEN VOCAL CD'S OF 2005"!!! Check out "Press & Reviews" for a link.
In July, Rob Lester included her CD in his "Sound Advice" column on talkinbroadway. (Also in "Press & Reviews") Last week, Mr. Lester wrote to inform her that he was including her CD on his list of favorites from last year!
We won't reprint the entire column (you can check it out yourself, if you're so inclined). But we will share his opening remarks:
"When a little-known singer can stand up among the heavyweights with some of the same material, she must be good. Debra Wagoner is one such singer. She has a solid, rich voice that has an unaffected sweet quality."
Debra was delighted, thrilled, and quite surprised to be honored like this! It's a great start to this New Year!</p>

<p>The Swift Creek Mill Theatre in Colonial Heights, VA opened its production of "Das Barbecu" on Saturday, November 12, 2005! For those of you unfamiliar with the show, it is based on Wagner's Ring Cycle operas. It transports the story to Texas, gives it a country-western twang, and requires its 5 actors to portray over 25 different roles! Debra (playing Brunhilde and other roles) is joined in this musical madness by her friends Robin Arthur, Jacqueline Jones, Jason Marks and Derek Phipps. The madness continues thru January 7, 2006 -- so come enjoy the fun!!</p>

<p>Dave Timberline has published a review of "The Hopeful Romantic" in the August 31 edition of Richmond's "Style Weekly"!
Here is an excerpt:
"Wagoner has a strong, supple voice memorable for its luxurious warmth and clarity. Her talent transfers splendidly from stage to studio on this debut CD, a collection of show tunes and standards with a stripped-down sound and innovative arrangements by pianist Ron Barnett... An evening with this “Hopeful Romantic” is time well-spent."

<p>Debra's CD, "The Hopeful Romantic" is featured this week on www.talkinbroadway.com!! A review appears in the "Sound Advice" column in the section called "Under the Radar".
Rob Lester, a music reviewer who writes the "Sound Advice" column, recently contacted Debra to obtain a CD for his review. His rave review was posted on July 14. (His column is updated weekly, so check it out now!)
Mr. Lester calls this "... a sweetheart of a CD", and says Debra has "... a warm, rich voice and presence... instantly likeable and unpretentious." An excerpt of his review appears in the "Press & Reviews" section. Or you can e-mail Debra if you want to read to whole thing!

<p>Debra recently treated patrons at the Tapestry restaurant in Ketchum, Idaho to an evening song. To residents in that area, she is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Patsy Cline - having performed the role twice for the Company of Fools. So, accompanied by the wonderful R.L. Rowsey, she delighted the audience with a few "Patsy" standards, as well as songs from her CD and other favorites.
The intimate concert was a great success; many customers stayed well into the night, and others called their friends to come join them! The restaurant's owner was delighted! She has invited Debra to come back again!</p>

So, if you're in the neighborhood... :-)</p>
