Lead & Backup Vocals, Guitar
Deb is a classically trained musician who began violin at age six and then
switched to guitar several years later when she fell in love with rock 'n roll. She
also plays flute and co-writes the band's original songs.  She has been
influenced by both rock and country/country rock artists such as The Eagles, The
Beatles, CCR, The Band, Linda Ronstadt, and George Strait. Whether she's out on
the dance floor with the girls belting "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" or lending  
harmony to "Best of My Love", Deb's love of music and entertaining are at the
heart of SunDog's performance. Deb is also Co-President of
NJ Event
Professionals and the founder of The NJ Musicians Network.

musical influences 1960s doo-wop groups, The Beach Boys, The Beatles,
