NEWS: Deana Martin Begins 2014 Nationwide Concert Tour
HOLLYWOOD, Ca. (February 3, 2014) – Internationally acclaimed entertainer Deana Martin has launched a year long coast-to-coast tour, in conjunction with Destination Moon, her latest CD for Big Fish Records.
Destination Moon, Deana’s fourth studio offering, is a musical rocket ride featuring 14 seminal performances (10 classics plus four new songs written especially for her), each interpreted with Deana’s trademark elegance and charm. Upon release, the CD immediately entered iTunes coveted Top 100.
A highlight of Destination Moon is True Love, a beautiful duet by Deana and her dad, Dean Martin. Recording a duet with her dad has been a life-long goal of Deana's. Remembering the session at Capitol Records in Hollywood, Deana recalled, “There I was in the studio where my dad recorded so many of his greatest hits, using his microphone, and I looked down at the original handwritten Nelson Riddle sheet music and saw his name at the top. When the music started, and I heard his voice in my headphones, it was overwhelming. It was as though he was right there, with me in the studio.”
Deana’s popularity as a recording artist is best measured by the chart success that she has enjoyed with each release. Her 2006 debut CD, Memories Are Made of This, remained on the Top 10 for 40 consecutive weeks! In 2009, with her second CD, Volare, Deana once again zoomed up the iTunes chart and did the same on Billboard's Jazz Album charts. Two years later, Deana recorded some of her most requested and favorite Holiday classics for the CD, White Christmas. Featured on the title track with Deana is the legendary Andy Williams, whose 2011 duet with Deana proved to be his final studio recording.White Christmas has since become a seasonal evergreen.
