Deborah Gee

Raised in Mineral Wells, Texas, Deborah moved to Los Angeles and began performing in the mid-1990s at local music spots including The Troubadour, Molly Malone’s and Genghis Cohen. She was spotted by Alan Myers (Devo) at her second L.A. gig and Myers signed on as drummer. Gee signed a demo deal with A&M Records and released her album PORTAL in 2000. In 2001, Gee met ex-Dickies guitarist/producer Glen Laughlin. She was looking for a new guitarist for her band, and the two began performing together and working on what was initially intended to be her second solo album. After meeting drummer Ryan Brown at a party, the three formed The Pawn Hearts, later re-named The Cherry Bluestorms. The Cherry Bluestorms’ debut album, TRANSIT OF VENUS, was released in 2007 and the band’s sophomore record BAD PENNY PENNY OPERA was released in 2013. They have performed widely in U.S. as well as Toronto, London, and the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.
