Kitti Katharine Returns to the Stage for an OUTSTANDING Event at Buttonwood with More to Come!

Friday night at The Buttonwood Tree was one of those magical evenings where everything was so fantastic, it couldn't have been better unless Rob Tschudin showed up with free chocolates for everyone!

Deborah Davis is unlike any singer I've met to date. She's not only a fabulous, world-class singer with a strong, trained voice and a former US Jazz Ambassador, but we discovered she's also a deft band leader, a sexy, sassy Diva and a very funny, personable and down-to-earth sister! Straight-forward and honest, she admits that when she was three years old she remembers telling jokes and wanting to be a stand-up comedian. But when her family found out she could sing ... well, that's where they directed her ... and there she is. And sing? That lady sure can sing!

Videos don't come close to revealing the powerful energy she belts out, or the humor and stories between songs that round out the evening. The positive vibes this lady sends out was palpable and everyone in the room was having a great night. I expect if their schedule is free, they'll be back when she returns on December 29th! Reservations are suggested!
Miss Kitti Katharine made a special guest appearance on Friday, August 31st at The Buttonwood Tree. It was her first time on stage in over a year and she didn't disappoint! It was a heartwarming moment in a sea of excitement that filled TBT that night. It was as many said, "Outstanding"!
