She then moved to South Florida in 1976. Debi's unique blend of country, rock, and jazz made her one of the area's favorite entertainers. In 1978 she won the Mark Allen Critic's Choice Award for "Best Female Vocalist" and in 1985 she won the South Florida Music Award for "Best Rock/Pop/Blues Female Vocalist". Debi has appeared in concert with such diverse artists as Spyro Gyra, Bob James, Leon Russell, Dan Seals, The Dirt Band, Gary Morris, Kris Kristopherson, Restless Heart, Suzi Boggus, Dave Mason, Marshall Tucker Band, Ronnie Milsap, Three Dog Night, The Bama Band, and Mark O'Conner.

Artist Bio:
Tori Tullier is a dedicated songwriter; living, eating, sleeping and breathing songwriting in Nashville. Tori majored in Media Writing and Production and minored in Music Business at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. Her primary instruments are voice and piano. While at the “U” Tori won first place in the 2011 Bruce Hornsby Songwriting Competition for her song “Little Bit of Home,” and, as part of the prize, was honored to open for the prolific hit songwriter Lamont Dozier. Tori also worked with the legendary producer, Phil Ramone, on his musical, Lanza!, featuring original songs written by students and faculty from the University of Miami. Two songs -- “Without Him” and “In Roma” – that were chosen for the musical were co-written by Tori and the Frost School of Music Dean, Shelton Berg, a world-renowned jazz pianist and composer. Tori gained valuable music industry experience while interning during the summer at the Country Music Hall of Fame (2011), Warner Music Nashville (2010) and EMI Capitol/Virgin (2009). She is currently assisting Big Yellow Dog Music Publishing in the launch of their record label, managing special events for Martin Guitars through Richlyn Marketing and handling tour press for Suzy Bogguss. For Tori, music has always been about the song. Although she has a love for performing, her true passion lies in crafting honest lyrics and memorable melodies. Since she wrote her first song at the age of ten she has been focused on writing music that tells a story. Inspired by musical giants, the songs of the Beatles and Burt Bacharach accompanied her childhood. Later she was influenced by such powerhouses as Carole King, Dolly Parton, James Taylor and Simon and Garfunkel.

Artist Bio:
Growing up in Lexington, a small town nestled into the mountains of southwest Virginia, Ben Goldsmith was surrounded by country and bluegrass music. This was supplemented by healthy doses of classic rock-n-roll and American folk music at home. Responding to a sense that music was part of his DNA Goldsmith started playing the guitar as a 5 year old after he saw a stranger throw an old Chet Atkins style guitar, with a hole in it, into a dumpster and sent his father in to retrieve it. A few years later the piano came on board, but by then he was beginning to recognize that songwriting was his greatest passion.
