    Deidre Has A New Album!

    It's true. I've been away, but I'm back with a brand new album, The Year of Lost and Found: A Pand'opera! It was written during lockdown and clocks in at a whopping 22 minutes. The songs range from funny to moody, and I'm really proud of it. In this episode, I preview 3 tunes from the album, and throw in one written with my longtime collaborator, Byron Isaacs from The Lumineers. You can get my album on all platforms starting April 10th!
