ABOUT LORI DIAMOND & FRED ABATELLI (www.LDFAmusic.com):

Bostonian Lori Diamond and New Yorker Fred Abatelli, have been creating and performing music together in New England since their "destined" meeting on Myspace in 2007. Lori, an award winning songwriter (Best CD "Lifted," Pulse Magazine 2015, Best Female Vocalist, Pulse Magazine 2011 & 2012, finalist, Great American Songwriting Contest 2010), combines alluring, soulful vocals and seasoned piano playing that are a perfect match for Fred's (Best Male Vocalist, Pulse Magazine 2015) solid finger work and clever phrasing on both bass and guitar. Fans of Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell, quickly become fans of Lori & Fred as they explore Jazz, Acoustic, Folk, Pop, Gospel and Blues influences and gently infuse them in a flavorful Adult Contemporary style that's all their own.  If you appreciate meaningful music with eloquence, substance and style then look no further!

ABOUT DEAN STEVENS (www.deanstevens.com):

"Dean Stevens; remember that name; we'll be hearing a lot more from him. Deans Stevens will inspire you. Great voice!!" ~ Pete Seeger

"Seeing and hearing Dean Stevens live on stage is proof that sanity, literacy, love, hope, and the forces of good are still alive and well and at work in the universe. Every song is offered with immediacy, humanity, and humor underscored by the most articulate and inspired guitar work you'll hear anywhere on the topical folk circuit. His powerful anthem to natural cycles, Salmon, and well-chosen covers, particularly David Dodson's brilliant indictment of our fossil fuel addiction, Gasoline, will convince you that you are in the presence of a thinking and compassionate master communicator at the peak of his powers. Losing your faith? Go to a Dean Stevens concert!" ~ Geoff Bartley

"Powerful...moving political performer" ~ Boston Globe

"A performer with keen vision, tenacity and wisdom to inspire and to entertain" ~ Dirty Linen

"Dean Stevens is a charming entertainer, a musician of great sensitivity and wit.  His spirit of joy and sharing shines through his music."  ~Jerry Christen, New Song Coffeehouse

"Dean Stevens is such a consummate musician and singer, such an easy guy to be around that it's easy to forget what a great songwriter he is... a sunny guy with a wicked wit, a killer guitar player, a first quality player and a first quality human being." ~Bob Franke
