How do you entertain 50,000 people at Southwest Florida’s biggest 4^th of July party? Just put Deb and the Dynamics on the stage”

“Deb and the Dynamics proved to over 50,000 people of Southwest Florida this is the band to see when you want to rock”

Been in the business a long time and have booked a lot of entertainment. Deb & The Dynamics deliver a great show, are on time and they are professional. Deb & The Dynamics have been playing (having fun) at Bert’s for several years. They keep the show fresh and update their material on a regular basis. Good sounds, good vibes, good business.

Our friends, Jack & Beth, took Linda and me to see the band at Porto Bello's in January, and we enjoyed the performance and the material
so much. It was cold enough that night that they had to turn the
heaters on, but things warmed right up when you guys started playing.

I got to chat a minute with Rick and Deb as I bought a CD which we
have enjoyed a lot. I suggested to Deb that the band do "Call On Me"
(not to be confused with "Down On Me" from the same album). The
Joplin/Big Brother version would fit your style so well. We are now
back in cold SE Ohio, but the next time we get to Pine Island, we
will plan to watch you again. Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Larry Mitchell, Athens, OH

Long time, no see!! This is Chris Cothran from Tennessee. Used to see you jam twice a week @ Bert's. I miss all of you, and I can't wait to return to the island to hear your magic. Moved back home to TN in '06-just took a job with American CruiseLines, serving as a deckhand aboard the American Spirit!!! Cruising the Hudson through the end of next week, afterwards we'll sail through Baltimore, from there the Carolinas, ending on Jacksonville December 27th. I'll be visiting the island soon after. Visited your website & was astonished at all the information you've compiled! Just learned you've released two more cd's which I have yet to hear, one of which a live jam recorded @ Bert's some enchanted evening? YEAH!!!! Let's keep in touch

I just can't say enough of how I enjoy your shows. Every time I see you guys play, it feels like an event. Very entertaining!

Being straight or after a few drinks, it doesn't matter, I feel like DANCING LIKE THERE IS NO ONE WATCHING!

Dear Deb and The Dynamics: Thank you so much for making my birthday so special. We were th ere at the Holiday Inn, Friday night, March 2nd with my two daughters. I hope to see you again & again. I can't stop telling all my friends in South Fort Myers how great you are. Again my husband & I thank you so much !!!!

Hallo Deb
We met you in Fort Myers beach 1/8 justa after you had played for the evening. Sorry we came very late, so we couldn´t hear so much. But, we bought a CD from you, which we played many times, when we traveled around in USA with New Orleans and Memphis. We belong to your fan club now, and hope you come to Stockholm again.

I want to say once again how much you changed my life. I was so
> depressed last year taking care of my uncle with Alzhiemer's and coming to
> see your band all the time was like taking Zoloft for me. Thank you so
> much for the inspiring music and fun times.

The wife and I caught you folks at the Ragged Ass Saloon last Sunday while out riding and I must say that I was pretty damn impressed (this coming from a metal head at that btw! ;) .

Thanx for the great tunes and excellent stage presence which brought a bit more life than the usual bands one may see performing to a smaller crowd!

Hi Deb and crew. How are ya? Just wanted to thank you for making my visit to the Ft. Myers area recently a great one. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!! I was only there a week and I am already a groupie....hahahahaha. Looking forward to seeing you all (expecially that HOT sax player from Pittsburgh) in September. I am curious why he is in your band's picture but, his bio is not listed. But, I guess he is just a best kept secret.....lol. Please keep in touch. I get to Ft. Myers quite often so, I will keep track of your schedule. Please write back when you get a moment....I 'd love to hear from you guys. Thanks again for making my trip a memorable one.

Deb, Graham and the rest of the band. Thanks for making my friends children feel so good, they talked about it all weekend. Attached are a few photo's showing Deb & the Dynamic's fans of all ages. Once again thanks, Mark Kaplan

I am sure you don't remember me, but I met you at Bert's Bar one Thursday night. My husband and I were with Mary and Barry Finver. I was very impressed with your band so I passed along your name to my boss Al Kinkle since he is such a huge Janis Joplin fan. He saw your show last Friday and is interested in booking you here at our country club.

Duane and I want to thank you all so much for making our wedding day the party of the year!!! From you singing Etta James’s At Last on the beach while I came down the aisle to the second encore of Bobbi McGee, you far exceeded our expectations. It was such a fantastic day we had so much fun with you there, every one danced and sang along. In fact, I don’t even think the sun came out until you got there. I am still getting comments on how much fun people had and how great the band was.
We could not have enjoyed our wedding day more!!! It was a hot hot hot day as I am sure you will agree and if it weren’t for the great music I am positive a lot of our guests would have left much earlier. The songs kept coming and we didn’t want to sit down. I think I lost 10 pounds dancing. You played even when the rain came and under the threat of being pushed in the pool. People who couldn’t make the wedding have told us they heard how incredible the reception was and are so sorry they missed it!!! I know Jeff from Rum Runners saw you there and has booked you for their Grand Opening in November and we are fighting over who is going to book you after that. Hopefully you won’t get too big and forget us little people. Ha-ha!!!

We truly appreciate all you did and like to think we hired a band and gained 5 friends!!!

Every time we see you out we relive our wedding day. This is still a good thing!!!

Love ya
Duane and Brandy Gibbs

Whoa! That is ONE kick-ass band! I love the CD - listening to it takes the sting out of bill-paying this morning! Great energy! I didn't want it to end! You must be having a blast! Thanks so much for sending the CD! I wish I could get you guys to come and play here! Any thoughts of doing a tour? The whole package is great - can't wait to see/hear the next release.

Just a quick note to say that I thought the band was really smokin' last
night at Bert's Bar! My friend Barbara was very
impressed with your singing as well as everyone else's performance in the
band last night. Lil Barb sings at karaoke and is a good friend of my
fiancée Ingrid who will be coming over from Stuttgart Germany around the
middle of July if all goes according to plan.

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all again real soon!

Russ

PS: Good vibes there at Bert's Bar! I've met some real friendly people
every time I've come there. It's a 100 mile round trip from Arcadia, but
your music and the friendly fun atmosphere at Burt's make it all worth
while!

Deb,

Linaya and I had a great time listening to you guys the past two weeks. Remember me? I'm the one that always comes in and asks if the band is any good. You know. good looking guy with a gray goatee like your husband and Graham. Linaya is the blonde who is in the Hookers with you and has tons of Cindy's jewelry.

We left Ragged Ass at 6 when you finished Sunday. We drove home to Delaware and arrived at 11 pm on Monday. What we will not do to see the Dynamics! (smile)

We can not wait to move down to Matlacha full time (June 07), Maybe you will employ me to pass around the bucket! smile Tell Rick I am not passing the bucket anymore until he puts our pictures on the website! smile.

You guys keep practicing and you are going to be a pretty good band! (smile) See ya in November.

Hi Deb,

We saw your show last Thursday night at Bert’s Bar on Pine Island. We were the big group from Miami visiting our cousin that has a place there.... I appreciate the autographed CD and have included it in our music library here at the agency. Our creative department enjoys good sounds and all have given me positive feedback!!!
You have a great voice and the band sounds real good too... I look forward to getting back to the area again soon with out the kids so we can let our hair down and enjoy another few sets with you.
Do you have any plans to work in the Miami area any time soon?? If you do please let me know and I’ll be sure to get a group together......

Thanks and regards,

Hey! Caught Deb and the Dynamics for the first time at Bert's, Thursday night Sept. 7th, and WOW! was blown away! Been around along long time and heard many a band in our days, but came away so, so, impressed. Best of luck to y'all, from sunny Ohio.

Dear Deb,

My husband and I came many times to see you and the Dynamics at the
Holiday Inn on Ft. Myers Beach (we lived within walking distance) and
I must tell you we both enjoyed coming to see you immensely. In fact,
we brought gangs of our friends and everyone always had a blast! Last
spring, we even brought our 12 year old grandson and you let him play
the tambourine during your entire performance and you totally made his
vacation one he will never forget!
Last month, on Oct.4th, my wonderful husband Mani died after a 11
month battle with cancer. It has been devastating, to say the least,
however, in honor of Mani, I am going to have a "Celebration of Mani's
Life" party at the Barefoot Boat Club at 5025 Bonita Beach Rd. on
Hickory Bay. It is a delightful place and since Mani loved being on
the water (usually in his offshore scarab boat) I thought it a fitting
place for celebrating his life. It will be on January 12th, and since
he absolutely loved going over to the Holiday Inn every Friday night
and listening and dancing to your performances, I wondered what your
schedule is for that date?
I can imagine that you are probably booked, but wanted to try and see
if possibly you could perform for us for a couple of hours.

YOU GUYS WERE FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for making the evening so memorable.
We loved you!!!!
