Heaven's Got the Blues; RIP Deborah Coleman
Heaven's got the blues today. The Blind Pig family is sad to share that guitarist, singer and songwriter Deborah Coleman has passed away at the age of 61.
A longtime staple of our label, Deborah was beloved for her fiery guitar stylings, impassioned singing and songwriting chops, all of which fueled four memorable albums for Blind Pig. One of the foremost women in blues, the Virginia native was a nine-time nominee at the W.C. Handy Blues Music Awards and won Best Blues Guitarist, Female at the Orville Gibson Awards in 2001.
