An award-winning singer, actor, composer, and cabaret
artist, DEB BOWMAN’s multi-faceted talents shine through on her newest album,
FAST HEART. The project comprises a mix of jazz standards and four original
tunes penned by Bowman. This is her debut as a songwriter. Bowman originally
hails from Alabama, but lived in New York City for several years, pursuing an
acting and singing career.
She has performed in theatre, Off-Broadway, national
tours and regional productions as well as television, films, and commercials,
and continues to create her own unique jazz cabaret shows that are well
received in NYC and at sea on world cruise ships, where she has traveled to
over 60 countries. FAST HEART is a tribute to Bowman’s beloved sister, Patti,
who died of ovarian cancer. She was with her sister throughout the brutal 18
month battle and was devastated by her loss. Bowman relocated to Atlanta
several years ago and has continued both her acting and singing career.
Bowman
is releasing FAST HEART in concert on the 10th anniversary of Patti’s passing
at Birdland on September 22nd, 2019.Patti loved butterflies, and from the teal
butterfly on the cover (a symbol of ovarian cancer awareness) to references in
several songs, the album is replete with butterfly allusions. Bowman will also
be donating a portion of the revenue to Ovarian Cancer Research. Bowman has a
rich, warm voice that was shaped by her earliest performances as a Gospel
singer. She is adept at a number of different musical styles, while her acting
background clearly informs her approach to lyrics. FAST HEART is a beautiful
and loving commemoration of her late sister Patti.
