We Aren't Dead Yet: Jamie Anderson, Deidre McCalla, and Dianne Davidson

Dianne Davidson, Deidre McCalla, and Jamie Anderson have years of performance experience between them. All three maintain solo careers but sometimes get together for this round robin extravaganza to prove that older doesnt mean dead.

We are part of the vibrant womens music movement that began in the seventies. Dianne and Deidre recorded for Olivia Records and we all did solo shows at hundreds of venues, from coffeehouses to Carnegie Hall. Appearing on stage together for We Arent Dead Yet, we perform songs spanning our careers, solo and with each other.

Dianne Davidson got a record contract instead of a high school diploma and went on to release seven albums including one for Second Wave (Olivia) in 1988. Shes worked with everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Tammy Wynette. Part of the Nashville scene, her style is hard to define so she jokingly calls it field and stream. Whatever it is, expect a variety, from heartfelt ballads like Tonight Ill Dream That You Care to rollicking covers like Willie Dixons Built for Comfort.

The Miami Herald affectionately dubbed Deidre McCalla a dreadlocked troubadour. She is a much beloved performer in both folk and womens music circles and has shared the stage with a long list that includes Tracy Chapman and Cris Williamson. With five critically acclaimed albums, her songs reflect a wide range of experiences from the moving Girl You Dont Know to the reflective ballad Cradled in Green.

Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, Jamie Anderson is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter-comic. Shes played in 47 states and 4 countries, and released 11 albums including her newest The Truth Appears. Songs range from tongue-in-cheek (Menopause Mambo) to serious (Black and White). Her memoir, Drive All Night, was released in 2014 and her second book comes out in 2019 She doesnt know anyone famous but she once passed Pat Benatar on a staircase.
