Lead by guitarist Frank Vignola and featuring guitarist Vinny Raniolo and bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, the Birdland Guitar Trio features some of New York City’s top jazz musicians. Every Wednesday night they grace the stage of the prestigious Birdland Jazz Club featuring special guests of some of the top names in jazz from Bria Skonberg, Catherine Russell, Ken Peplowski, Mike Stern, Karrin Allyson, Houston Person, Pasquale Grasso and many others.

Deb Talan’s voice has been described as “intoxicating” by NPR, “sugary and sultry” by Paste Magazine, “inimitable” by The Boston Globe. Her songwriting, whether as half of the folk-pop duo The Weepies, or solo, has earned her recognition on multiple “Best Of” lists over the years and numerous placements in movies, tv shows and commercials.

Talan’s new release, I Thought I Saw You, distributed by ONErpm, maps her journey into new life, love, longing, and letting go. The collection of lush, folk-pop gems is enriched by Iowa musicians Dan Padley (keys, guitar) and Jay Foote (bass). Deb’s voice and writing urge the listener to lean into the whole range of feelings involved in making and accepting big life changes.
