I’m so thrilled to announce the official launch of our very own beautiful stage here at our new home in Gibsons, BC. We opened the doors of Secret Beach B&B Suites in April and haven’t looked back. It has been a very busy spring and early summer and there is no sight of things slowing down. What fun we are having, meeting so many interesting folks from all over the world and offering a relaxing retreat away from the hustle of the city.
This next phase of hosting acoustic concerts on our very own property…. is a dream come true. We look forward to sharing amazing local talent and touring artists, community movie nights and more. I imagine the space will work very well for grand dinner parties, small work retreats and perhaps even a little yoga. What better way to officially kick off this beautiful new venue…but with my beloved Hotties.
Advance tickets are a good idea and can be purchased via E-transfer. Please contact me directly via dthesinger at gmail.com or call 604 255 9449. We are offering a sliding scale donation of $15-20 for entry. Please bring your lawn chairs, blankets. picnics and beverages. We will have cold drinks and snacks for sale.
Please help us spread the word! Here is the FB event listing and you can invite folks directly from there….if you do the Facebook thang 
Hope you can be with us!

Super happy to bring my sweet Tree-O to Deep Cove for the very popular Deep Cove Coffee House. This series has been running for plenty of years and showcases wonderful talent in a lovely listening room. I will have my dear pianoman Simon Kendall with me as well as Finn Manniche on cello. These are such special nights for me. A rare treat to share my “soul song” and continue to nurture these songs along. So often I play 6-7 songs at local jazz vespers but for this show, I will have a full set of my songs to perform. Hope you can join us.

So excited to share this talented trio with you all. It is a rare treat for me to perform a full night of my songs as the Deanna Knight Tree-O with Simon Kendall (Doug and the Slugs) on piano and Finn Manniche (Van Django) on cello.
Friday Night Live is Lynn Valley’s only regularly-scheduled, inspiring storytelling, musical experience ….perfect for all ages.

Thrilled to have both the Gibsons and Roberts Creek Legions Halls booked for Deanna Knight & the Hot Club of Mars. Last June we played the Gibsons Jazz Festival and witnessed the full dance floor for a hoppin’ 3 sets of tunes… I actually moved to the Sunshine Coast. It is exciting to be here now and to invite my sweet swing band over to join me in my new community.
Both nights are billed as dances so bring your dancing shoes and have some fun with us. There is a kitchen at both Legions and they do serve dinner prior to the dance. Remember – you don’t HAVE to dance. You can always sit and enjoy the music as well but we are thrilled to have dance floors to offer our fans! Tell all your friends….tell a whole bunch!

Sunday, Jan 28th will be the second concert in my Double Bill Salon Series. This time we feature the wonderful Chris Ronald with his strong songs and delightful stories. I’m thrilled to share Chris with my new community here on the Sunshine Coast. I had the pleasure of singing harmony vocals on Chris’s award winning CD Timeline. This concert will be a full double bill with myself and Simon Kendall (Doug and the Slugs) on piano. I’ll share a set of my original songs and a few covers (Traditional folk, tango, swing) So looking forward to this sweet night together.
You MUST RSVP me directly to save your seat. Payment through E-transfer is appreciated. Please email dthesinger@gmail.com today as seats are limited.
This new focus on my own songwriting is very exciting. 16 years of booking, managing and performing with The Hot Club of Mars was a real blessing and I am very proud of what we accomplished together. Now it is time to focus inward and share my “soul song” This recent move was a great leap of faith to a new community with very few folks who know me. If you have friends or family on the Sunshine Coast and can help spread the word…I would be so grateful

Here in my NEW HOME of Gibsons BC, I will be keeping active musically in a variety of ways. I hope to put more focus on my songwriting and performance of my own “soul song” I’m always so pleased to present talented artists. This Salon Concert will be hosted by my friends Lehe and Jonah and I will open the night with a short set …with Oliver accompanying me on a couple songs. You MUST RSVP directly to reserve your seat. You can pay in advance for your ticket via Etransfer …..and remember there is limited seating.
