Deborah Bonham releases new album "Spirit" on Tuesday March 11, 2014.The crafty, stylish and incomparable artist and little sister of John Bonham of Led Zeppelin fame is set out on a course all of her own. Deborah is no stranger to the industry and her new album "Spirit" is one album that will stand apart from anything else.The spirit in the songs and music of Deborah Bonham draws on the hurt, pain, joy and anger that come with life for all of us. Negatives are decanted as positivity, from mistakes comes learning. From that spirit comes the determination to always push forward and celebrate life, sharing experiences with her audience. As she sings in the opening salvo from the album: “Pain is going away, it's gonna stop today. I'm gonna fly”.
So there could be only one title for the new album: but Deborah also has soul. It's the soul that comes from her deep love and understanding of so many musical greats - Otis Redding, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Elkie Brooks, Lowell George and many more - all of whom are artists who surrounded themselves with great musicians who had that same 'feel' and so it is with Deborah's band. It's also their instinctive affinity with the words being sung and how they absorb her emotions; sometimes soft, sometimes fierce.
The last two years has seen Deborah performing in the UK, Europe & USA alongside and dueting with Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant and Nazareth’s Dan McCafferty . She also performed alongside Ozzy Osbourne in the Czech Republic, where she returned for more shows and also appeared at the massive Harley Davidson festivals in France and Austria (100,000 people). During her career she has toured and performed with Van Halen, Alannah Myles, Tim Rose, Uli Jon Roth, Paul Weller, Humble Pie, Donovan, Lonnie Donegan, Jools Holland, Ann Peebles, Foreigner and FM. She’s played festivals from Glastonbury to Donnington, Harley Davidson to Ripfest, twice at Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival, and opened for Bad Co’s 40th Anniversary shows in Illinois USA.
Deborah Bonham has recently released her catalog of albums to digital outlets around the world. Loyal Bonham fans that have been itching for her previous albums can now go to iTunes, Amazon and more to pick them up. The albums include "For You and The Moon," "Duchess," and "The Old Hyde."
