What if there were a longlost love child between Little Richard & Emmylou Harris?
She might well look like Lahna Deering.
I first saw Lahna play at Folk Alliance in the Film Access Group room; she was wearing a little red dress, hot red lipstick and pumps to match. She had that Southern smile, the girl next door with a slightly mischievous look in her eye. I half expected her to swing a cardigan over her shoulder and jump into some boy's red Cammaro.
And then she opened her mouth -- pow! No one sounds like that & her timbre, her affect sticks in your head. I think I followed Deering & Down around the Marriott all weekend. And this girl is pure Memphis.
But don't take it from me. Judge for yourself.
