Deena began her music career as co-founder of The Cucumbers, a leading band in the 80s indie pop scene in Hoboken, NJ, with reviews in Rolling Stone and People Magazine and videos on MTV.
Deena's songwriting has been called "direct and artful," by the New York Times, her voice "…incredible: kidstuff and wisdom merged," by the Village Voice. Her songs have been recorded by Jackson Browne and Dar Williams and featured in films and on network TV.
A blend of alt country and indie pop, with a wink and a twinkle, “Rock River” (released March 2014, Life Force Records) is the second full length CD from Deena. Deena’s compelling, charming vocals draw you into direct, heartfelt songs that reach into the roots of American music, without nostalgia, mixed with a bit of Jersey style rock and roll party spirit, full of harmony, and pop hooks.
"Somewhere in Blue," Deena's first solo album, received rave reviews and airplay around the world. “No songs like these have been heard before on contemporary albums, which in turn leads to a joyous and genius sound being created right before your very eardrums.” wrote Russell Hill (Maverick Magazine) “Somewhere in Blue will brighten your day and reaffirm your belief in the power of rock ‘n’ roll to stay with us throughout our adult lives” Jim Testa, Jersey Beat
Deena's other projects include RockDownBaby (lo-fi dance pop), Over The Moon (original rock and roll for children), and SingSOS: Songs of the Spectrum. She is co-host of The Saturday Afternoon Songswap music series and radio show, and a member of the TaikoZoku drumming ensemble. Read more on Last.fm.
