Hass Avocados from Mexico by Frescura Avocados, LLC

Deborah BoilyDeborah Boily has traveled the world, delighting audiences on land and the high seas with her shows which feature French and American popular song. She has performed her one-woman shows in such places as London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Washington D.C., Houston and Cleveland to name a few. She has also performed on the high seas with cruise lines including Seabourn, Silver Seas, Radisson-Seven Seas, Paquet and Wind Star Cruises. It is her connection to her music and her audiences that bring a magical energy and experience to any event.

In Ms. Boily's own words, she says: "When I sing, I feel most alive; that I am doing what I am supposed to do in this life. And, I somehow feel most connected to who I really am when I am singing a dramatic French classic. I have a passion for the language, the melodies and lyrics that I simply can’t explain. I love to see tears in eyes and hear heart felt laughter in that small moment in time my audience and I are connected. It is as if we all go “somewhere else” together on a voyage to wherever the music takes us."

Accolades for Deborah Boily

"She's the authentic cabaret article: blessed with a richly expressive, passionate and dramamatic voice; an affable personality that makes her a natural communicator; and a vibrant, vivacious repertoire. -- Mark Shenton, The Stage, London, 2004

“This American Piaf is not to be missed!!” --The International Herald Tribune, Paris

“Deborah Boily is diminutive but it’s this singers pipes and what she does with them that leaves one with the vague feeling of having just come from one of Paris’ smoked filled cabarets. She is able to bring a particular poignancy and immediacy to lyrics.” -- Backstage, New York

“The greatest compliment I could give a singer is that they remind me of the greatest singer and entertainer the world ever had. A man named Francis Albert Sinatra. Well, I have to give it to you. I’m not saying you look or sound like Mr. Sinatra. I’m talking about how you present the song. You have a way of taking a song, the lyrics and manipulating them (so that) you make it sound like the song was written for you to sing. I believe you have done just that, I enjoy your videos, wonderful!!” -- YouTube Listener

"She has an effortlessly floating voice that cuts to the meaning of the song. But most of all, it is her gorgeous respect and palpable love of this material that communicates itself so vivaciously in the same way… she's certainly a singer I'd like to hear again and again. -- Mark Shenton, The Stage, London, 2002

"Deborah Boily put on a show… that had the unmistakable stamp of a pro. Her show crackled with a crisp intelligence that was suffused with a voice that has the timbre of life in it." Scott Segal, Bistro Bits, Backstage, New York

"After engagements in New York, London and Paris, Boily is the very model of a modern chanteuse. She is in fine voice, singing with range, power and rich feeling." -- Everett Evans, Houston Chronicle

"There is no denying the quality of her voice or the standard of her musical taste. One thing she has in abundance is talent!" -- The Stage, London, 1997

"Deborah possesses a distinctive voice; her singing approach is somehow both theatrical and intimate." -- Time Out, New York

"One of the greatest Cabaret voices on either side of the Atlantic." -- Cabaret Scenes, New York and London
