Deb Wessler is an Anchorage singer-songwriter & guitar and banjo player. Her love of acoustic music was surely influenced by her early years in rural Eastern Oregon and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Deb first began writing music and playing publicly when she was a graduate student at Washington State University.
Deb Wessler is currently performing Original Acoustic & Bluegrass Music in the band "Homespun" with Ken Olmstead on lead guitar and mandolin. She is in the process of writing and recording her third album.
Deb's first visit to Anchorage in 1979 coincided with the renaissance that was happening in traditional acoustic music throughout Alaska. It was at this time that she developed her passion for outdoor music festivals.
In Summer of ‘82 it became clear that her call to head North could no longer be ignored…Deb made some of her first public appearances with a family bluegrass band at places like the Montana Creek Lodge and Willow Trading post.
Throughout the late 80’s and mid 90’s Deb performed in a duet called “Homespun” with another singer-songwriter-guitarist, occasionally accompanied by a flutist or violinist.
By 1999 Deb had recorded and co-produced her first original CD, “Story Behind the Song”, with Dennis Lind at Soul Searchers Studio in Anchorage. On “Story”, Deb is joined by Anchorage musicians Laura Hall (Harmony Vocals), Gary Markley (Banjo), Joe Page (Mandolin), Dawn Lindsay (Violin), Terry Klemensen (Acoustic Bass), and Tony Restivo of The Photonz (Electric Bass)…
In the year 2000 Deb set out to write the music for her second original CD, “Honeybee”, recorded and co-produced with Don Morrell of Toneworks Studio in Anchorage. “Honeybee” is another who’s who of Alaska’s finest musicians with Ken Terry on banjo, Dawn Lindsay on violin, Jason Norris of “Bearfoot Bluegrass” on mandolin, Don Morrell on lead guitar & electric bass, Linda Morrell on harmony vocals. Also featured are Meg Anderson on harmony vocals and electric bass, Kris Rosentrater on percussion and Terry Klemensen on acoustic bass. Anchorage photographer, Lisa Seifert, of Wolf Studios, did the fabulous camera work for the project..
