Event
A Very Special House Concert - postponed - stay tuned
Months of COVID isolation gave Deb Rasmussen to return to song writing. With the help of the great Jon Day, the new tunes have beautiful arrangements and we're looking forward to sharing them with you before we go into the studio. Our show will feature our new collaborations as well as some standards with a twist.
The house concert will be held in a beautiful century home in the neighbourhood of Mount Royal near downtown Calgary. Location details provided upon ticket purchase.
