Deann Ren – Paint a Dream (CD)

Description

It’s not surprising that Deann Rene’s march to Texas singer/songwriter success has been a rather circuitous one. Because this daughter of San Antonio band directors and music teachers grew up knowing that the best music like complex formations is rarely achieved by taking the easy, straight line route. Now a fixture within Austin’s vibrant music community, Deann’s forthcoming release, Paint a Dream, proves that it is life’s varied experiences and heartbreaking disappointments that are essential ingredients for creating songs capable of touching another’s soul. Drawing from an array of genres and influences, including pop, rock, R & B and worldbeat, Deann has painted musical images worthy of both gallery walls and earbuds everywhere.
