Deanna Knight is a singer, songwriter and fronts The Hot Club Of Mars. We chat about her evolution from her roots in choir and musical theatre through Grateful Dead influenced jam band the Fat Cats into Django styled hot jazz. We talk about her experience doing singing telegrams & the serendipitous events that moved her life from her native Ontario to running a B & B on BC’s Sunshine Coast.

“If you have gifts as a young person, it’s important to listen to that. And as hard as it is to be in an industry where you’re a product. It’s not like a painter right? Oh I’m gonna paint something and it’s gonna go away to somebody’s house. I’m gonna be something for people. And I’m gonna get onstage and I’m gonna be that over and over for them. And I’ve really struggled with that. Now I’ve come to a place where I feel safe. I feel safe and I feel settled.”
