About the artist:

Debi is a colorful and talented performing artist - singer, actress, musician, storyteller, recording artist and artist-in-resident. She's been awarded grants through the North Dakota Council on the Arts' Apprenticeship program, learning traditional Irish songs in Gaelic (the Irish language), ceili (Irish social) dance and the rare clairseach (traditional wire-strung harp). In addition to numerous acting and directing credits, Debi hosted a weekly folk music show on ND Public Radio, sang a soprano solo with the Bismarck-Mandan Civic Chorus on the stage of Carnegie Hall and was an artistic ambassador for North Dakota in Iceland. She spent three weeks in Japan with the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program, attended Scoil na gClairseach - Summer School of Early Irish Harp in Kilkenny, Ireland, and was recently a featured solo artist on the six-part Prairie Public Television series titled North Dakota Musicians. Her recording Faerie Harp is a delightful array of Celtic melodies and stories that conjure images of a land steeped in magical enchantment. Debi also recorded Songs of the Seventh Cavalry (tunes from the 1860s American West), Stardust Twins (folk songs), is included on the NDCA 40th Anniversary CD, and contributed Celtic songs and stories to a joint NDCA and Forestry Service project about trees and their folklore titled Spirit Woods, Traditional Stories and Songs of Forests and Trees.
