Debi is currently involved in several projects including four national compilations, writing a movie score, and filming her first video. Debi partnered with Grammy Award Winner Rubén Blades in his current international release "Concepts" a diverse compilation of rock and pop musicians from North and South America.

Rubén Blades has chosen to use Internet as the only channel of distribution of his new disc, "Concepts." These musical works are available now, and breaks all the schemes of previous works of the Panamanian, as much in style as in distribution. In the disc they collaborate Livre Mouth (of Brazil), Eric Rigler, Luba Mason and Debi Graham (of the U.S.A.), Editus Ensemble (Costa Rica), Is Miserable (Panama ), Bernal Villegas (Costa Rica) and Horacio Walls (Mexico).

Debi has also released her track Like Lucy's Fur on the AMP 6Pack. Amp Energy Drink, by Mt.Dew/Pepsi, created the AMP Music Circuit and has been providing talented bands with national exposure, radio play, tour support and distribution.

Now AMP has created another vehicle designed to empower bands: the 6Pack. AMP 6Packs are six-minute segments created by the bands themselves. They're a new creative expression that connects bands with their fans through music, interviews, and dialogue. Free downloads are available.

Debi will be touring in the Spring/ Summer 2005 with her band to support her album "Anesthesia." She is accompanied by Maria Galiano on drums and Larry Martinez on bass.

Debi is edorsed by Elixer Strings.





"Musicians local and national talk the talk of doing their own thing and refusing to conform to preconceived notions of "marketable" music but Salt Lake singer-songwriter Debi Graham walks the walk with a determined swagger that's seductively intimidating. Her power-percussive acoustic guitar and full-throttle vocals may start at Ani DiFranco, but Graham's full-length debut being released, Anesthesia, proves she has her own bag of tricks. It's folk, it's rock, it's light, it's dark, it's Graham's sensual-to-shattering declarations all over the damn place. With her Full Band behind her, she's unstoppable."

Bill Frost
Music & TV Editor
Salt Lake City Weekly


"Debi Graham has to be one of the most underrated guitarist in Salt Lake City. Of course, her soulful voice, jazzy, funky, bluesy and sometimes rock-based songwriting is enough to raise plenty of appreciative eyebrows, but it's her fast-as-hell strumming and picking - both flawless and emotional - that really makes your jaw drop. Graham's drummer, Maria Galiano, and bassist, Larry Martinez, are also excellent musicians, they execute each song's complicated stops and starts with anal precision. The music itself is more layered - and more melancholy - on the CD than I remember it being live. Husky alto sax and brash trumpets float over Graham's sassy retro-style singing on Track 1, and it's pretty amazing that one acoustic guitar and vocal could create such dreamy, emotional mood on track No. 3. Track No. 6, with its echoey vocal effects and somber mood, is also a powerful standout."

Rebecca Vernon
Associate Editor
S.L.U.G. Magazine


"...[Debi's] always been a good lyricist, but the poetry on Anesthesia demonstrates enormous amount of maturity - the street's smart wisdom of what some would call an "old soul." Her chronological age belies her way with words, her gift for turning a phrase and her frank self-examination and introspection have given her a grasp of human nature that one associates with Joni Mitchell, or Tori Amos. And this is to say nothing of her singing voice. She navigates her range with amazing power and control - Debi can take it from a husk and growl to the pure and ethereal in matter of measures. Hers is an instrument without limitations of any kind - I can only marvel at her potential she has a songwriter and singer."

Kevin Jones
Editor
The Independent Newspaper


"[Debi]...a little darker and more punk than ever before... for being independent and not having a record label backing, its been phenomenal."

Lisa Grady
Entertainment
The Spectrum Newspaper


"With her experience in other regions of the country, Debi Graham has created a buzz in Utah with her powerful trio."

  • PHENOMENAL!!
    author: Jenny

    Your music is amazing!! I can't believe you're not famous yet! I'm sure it's only a matter of time! I love your music!

  • I had to buy it twice!
    author: John Newman

    When I saw them live in Reno at The little Wal I had to buy this album, I wore it out and had to order a new one! I love it all!

  • Awesome album but I really love the new one...
    author: Daisy Fullerton

    Anesthesia is awesome, very diverse, but the new live one (bulb studio) is even better. Seeing the band open for Fiona Apple made me an instant fan. Seeing them live is even better than hearing them live! Loved the show, so much energy!

  • Jazzy, punky, sexy.
    author: Linda Lee Kennedy

    I can't stop listening to this CD. "Suffocate" is punky, sexy, cool. "Mercury" is intoxicating. The percussion is driving and the guitar work is riveting. The jazzy overtones of Debi's voice are full of surprises.

  • INCREDIBLE!
    author: Kara P.

    Awesome CD, Awesome band! If you get a chance you HAVE to see them live, they are amazing!

  • unfriginbelievable neeed I say more?????????
    author: randy the randmister

    author: Brandy

    The C.D. is excellent quality! I have listened to it only about 10,000 times already!! I'm loving Anesthesia, I wish you had more albums out. Thanks. Brandy from Ogden!

    author: Dana

    I really like this cd but I prefer the band live. The songs are good.

  • Wow! This CD is awesome! The music is great! Very nice!
    author: N.Nuñez

    I heard Debi Graham on a sampler CD, and was very impressed. The next day, I checked out her samples on CD Baby, and by the end of it, I had to have the CD. Anesthesia is a great album! Very energetic, very unique, and very powerful! The vocals are great, and the music is creative! This is definitely and excellent album!

  • This CD makes my 1980 Pinto look COOL!!!!
    author: Amber (AKA MoFo)

    The music is very unique. The way she handles her guitar makes my mouth water....i'm not a guy or gay. She has a different style that I haven't heard before, which is good. There needs to be different genres then the same old stuff all the time. I just loved it, I listen to it 24/7.....I love it, can't wait for another cd!!!

  • This is air wave ear candy.
    author: Jaimie

    I can't believe that this is an indie album. Remarkable. You need to be heard everywhere!!!

  • Interesting
    author: Not Bad

    It's OK.

  • Wow! What a Voice!!
    author: Meranda

    Never been so blown away by a voice as I have been with Debi Graham. I love this cd.

  • I really enjoyed this unique artist. Different. Intense. Darkly....
    author: Roger from West Jordan

    I really enjoyed this unique artist. Different. Intense. Darkly beautiful. I had no idea what to expect after only hearing the single on X96 and the Death By Salt compilation. I wanted something out of the ordinary and I got it.

  • author: Ian

    You're CD is really different than the live performance. The intense energy from the live performance is amazing. However, the intimacy of Debi's vocals on the album is even better.

  • What a great band!!
    author: Misty

    Your band is amazing. Everyone should have a copy of your CD! Thanx for playing some great tunes! GOOD LUCK!

  • I had so much fun
    author: kelly

    A friend called me and said to come see a show. I was so blown away by the music that I got the cd and now it led me here, this album has it all, slow stuff, fast stuff, storytelling just great music. Thanx

  • author: Aiden

    I can't stop listening to this album. There are new things that I hear everytime through. The lyrics start to unfold the more I listen. It's like a puzzle. I'm an addict.

  • I've never been so hooked on one CD before.
    author: Amy

    I've never been so hooked on one CD before. The music is jazzy, angry, sexy, and full of adrenaline. Not to mention the voice on this cat. It's Ani Defranco meets Tori Amos meets Phiona Apple rolled up in one bad !@# collection of funky fulk. I haven't taken it out of my Cd player since I got it.

  • Unbeliveable

    Debi, Larry, and Maria........Damn!! I have been to about 60+ national acts, and I honestly would rather watch Debi Graham band live than 95% of the national bands out there. When I listen to your CD I cannot believe that I am listening to a local band!

  • This is ALWAYS in my CD player
    author: Alexi Buhler

    I heard Debi Graham sing and had to get her CD. I love every one of her songs on this album. Each song is very different and the lyrics are so real and personal to her, as well as everyone who hears it.

  • Instantly obsessed
    author: future stalker

    Saw you guys and couldn't believe the energy. Never seen that bar so crowded, ever. Bought the CD and can't stop listening.

  • Instant Fan
    author: PS

    Heard Debi live for just a few songs and was hoping the CD would be as good as what I heard. It is better. Debi is an amazing talent.

  • Amazing vocals, genuine and poignant songwriting
    author: Candle Kuhlmann

    Anesthesia is an emotive and inspired collection of songs. The songwriting is honest and the vocals dynamic and passionate. I would recommend this CD to anyone.

  • great, friendly service, wonderful cd will recommend it my friends
    author: Angie

    The cd was great, better than i expected. Keep on rocking and making tunes like you are now!!
