From Costa to Carolina, Deblois plays to surf
It's a sweaty night in Nosara, Costa Rica, and Carolina surfers recount the days waves, using their hands to describe hard turns and billowing swells. In her own way the blond guitarist playing that night at the Harbor Reef is doing the same thing.
Surfing and music are intertwined for singer songwriter Deblois, who will playa series of shows in the area over the course of a week or so, starting Sat April 7th. Growing up in Miami, she discovered music early and knew it was for her.
With her mellow rythms and raspy alto, Deblois can capture a room. She's a magnificent story teller and posseses a warmth in her persona that's truly endearing.
