Maine singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Lynn Deeves honed her stage skills on the high energy rock circuit of New England in the 1980’s and 90’s. She has since released 4 self-produced, original CD’s, showcasing a versatile mix of blues, folk and gospel influences combined with a powerfully, soulful voice. Her sharp wit and dynamic stage presence continue to captivate, as Portland Press Herald says “five star stage presence….this gals’ got a set of pipes…” Deeves has opened for Cheryl Wheeler, Ellis Paul, Janie Ian, America, Catie Curtis and many others. Recently, Lynn was selected to contribute a track to “The Pink Album-26 of the greatest women recording artists in Maine”-a benefit compilation for the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition.

Electric and acoustic guitarist, Robby Coffin has long-been a favorite on the Maine music scene. Robby has performed with Tom Paxton, Devonsquare, Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul and Mary), Don Campbell and the Nutopians. Coffin’s tasteful, textures augment whomever he’s playing with and his rich vocals blend beautifully with Lynn’s. Sure to be a magical evening!
