Canadian Jazz Singer Deanne Matley & Prime Time Big Band
Deanne Matley

Canadian Jazz Singer Deanne Matley has been singing full-time with Western Canada’s Top Big Band for over ten years. Above all, one of her favourite gigs as a Canadian Jazz Singer is singing with an 18 piece big band. Firstly it allows her to really step into her role as a performer. Secondly, it is such a great way to communicate and connect with her audience. Although she now spends most of her time out East, she is thrilled and honoured to perform with them when back in her hometown Calgary.

Listen to Deanne and the band here on their “Live at The Ironwood” album.
