Vocalist and composer Deb Bowman’s loving tribute to her late sister, Patti – FAST HEART, releasing August 29th on Mama Bama Records

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.
