BlackRock audience favorite Deanna Bogart is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and multifaceted musician whose fans value the diversity of her genre-free zone. Recognized for her dazzling keyboards, soulful saxophone, smoky vocals and cut-above songwriting, Deanna combines the best of boogie-woogie, contemporary blues, country and jazz into a splendid blend she calls “blusion.” Deanna’s fusion of musical styles—spontaneous, sophisticated, fearless and fun—has garnered her three consecutive Blues Music Awards’ Horn Instrumentalist of the Year for 2008, 2009 and 2010 and more than 20 Wammies, the music awards for the hotly contested Washington, DC region.
