About Deidre McCalla
Artist Biography
Said to combine the delivery of Nina Simone with the lyrical insightfulness and social commentary of Phil Ochs, urban singer/songwriter McCalla came of age in New York City during the McDougal Street pop/folk heyday, when artists sought to give musical expression to the nation's anger and unrest. Transplanted now to a new home base in northern California, McCalla continues to tour back and forth across the country, her travels having made her an articulate, contemporary troubadour. She plainly admits what every rocker knows: that life begins with an acoustic guitar. McCalla's first two albums, "Don't Doubt It" and "With A Little Luck," have received numerous New York Music Award nominations. Her most recent LP, "Everyday Heroes & Heroines," was produced by Teresa Trull and featured contributions from Mike Marshall, Linda Tillery, Bonnie Hayes, and others. ~ Laura Post
