debbie duncan 025Debbie Duncan – June 11th

Debbie Duncan may be considered the upper Midwest’s “best-kept-musical secret”, but she has become a local legend and treasure in her home of Minneapolis. Her personality, vitality, and versatility all contribute to that fact. She is a terrific entertainer, and this is certainly part of her appeal. Most importantly, however, “she’s a superb vocalist, probably the finest in the area.” [Bob Protzman, St. Paul Pioneer Press]
