Deborah Stafford & The Night Stalkers
The Story
Deborah Stafford has been a staple of the Colorado Blues scene for many years. But in 2021, Deborah put together the dream team. She created a new band, adding the horn section and keyboards she had always wanted, and thus was born The Night Stalkers. They have been "Stalking the Blues" ever since. Deborah & The Night Stalkers play original Blues, Soul, & Roots Rock, and their horn-driven grooves will get you shakin' it! With amazing original songs and also covers from artists like Al Green, Etta James, Ray Charles, Amy Winehouse and Ray LaMontagne they mix the best of blues with funk and soul . Their award-winning horn section, masterful guitar by Jeff Bowen (formerly of My Blue Sky), soulful keyboards by Tone Show, and the smoldering vocals of Deborah Stafford take this band to the next level. In May 2022 they made it to the semi-finals of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and opened The (now defunct) Trinidaddio Blues Festival to rave reviews. They won the CBS Blues Challenge for the second year in a row and went to Memphis again in 2023. 2023 also saw them headlining at Blues on the Mesa, Red, White and Blues, and opening Rock & Rails. By 2024 they were headlining large outdoor festivals like Rock & Rails, Louisville Street Faire and Frederick Miner's Days among their other shows. This band is going places!
Deborah's songwriting with Dave "Doc" Dougherty, and Jim DeSchamp has created many memorable songs and she relies on Doug Rasmussen, the leader of her horn section and arranger to make that world-class horn sound. Deborah continues to make her mark as a singer and songwriter with heartfelt lyrics and songs you walk out humming.
"Great solid band with a big sound! Well written songs..."
"Seasoned and smooth. Horn section compliments this band very well...There is a lot going on up there & you guys make it look so easy. Great musicianship Wow! Nice! Splendid! Well Done!"
"Ocean of Tears is a winner. If you don't do it, sell it to Ruthie Foster with horn band. Etta James would kill for that song. Nice Work!"
