Deanna Bogart describes her approach to music as:
Bluesion....
it all grows out of the blues....
just doesn't always end there....
"After interning in western swing and R&B with Cowboy Jazz and Root Boy Slim, Bogart has fronted her own tight ensemble for over fifteen years. Playing dazzling piano and soulful saxophone, Deanna’s added the energy of boogie-woogie, contemporary blues, country, and jazz to create a unique fusion of musical styles. Her vocals and songwriting are as full of vitality as her playing – savvy, sensuous, and deep."

"...possesses a gift for approaching blues, soul and R&B material with warmth and firmness. Her originals here, in particular the beautifully sung, intelligent ballads "Blue By Night" and "Tender Days," sound as fresh as if she'd magically plucked them out of the air."
-- Downbeat
"Her versatility is truly astounding."

"...Bogart reveals the intersections between genres that have fed off one another for decades."
-- Blues Revue
"This woman is a troubador.
A teller of life stories and roads traveled."
-- BluesBytes.com
"Bogart plays a jumpin' piano ... that rollicks with a fast tempo and panoramic solos. ... a sound that transcends genre classification … The latest offering by Bogart is really good music."
–Rick Galusha, Blues Wax
"Luster, sophistication and soul"
-- The Washington Post
