Deanna Dove, the Island Girl, is a musician making a living on her own terms and knows that life is short and you're dead a long time, so go ahead and live it with passion. Having built her foundation from the ground up and being a part time musician all of her life; Deanna decided it was time for some adventure and daring moves in her life. 

After writing her first album, Chesapeake, in May 2003, Deanna found that her story about the Chesapeake Bay was very captivating to her local audience, as well as other fun, water-loving people in many other localities. 

That first album sold over 3,000 copies and solidified Deanna as a songwriter and there began the first leg of her new found journey. But her career as a musician was firmly anchored in her hometown where she built a dedicated following – why did she want to roam? 

Deanna got an itch to travel and in November of 2006, formulated a musical tour from North Carolina to Florida. After that month of touring, Deanna was then bitten by the travel bug, so she returned home and packed her bags for Nashville to find the perfect partner and producer. In January 2007, she met ZIG, and began a great friendship as well as an intense 7 1/2 week long recording project. 

Dove revisited her childhood roots and recorded the gospel CD entitled "Rock of My Roots." Next, Dove recorded her favorite Christmas songs to complete the CD entitled "Merry Christmas, Dahling!" Finally, Dove wrote and recorded ten original songs that became yet another CD to add to her label entitled "Peace, Love & Crabs." Currently on her "Peace, Love & Crabs” tour, Dove performs when in her hometown in an activist role in support of public awareness for restoring and preserving the Chesapeake Bay and is a founding member of SoMdCARES, Southern Maryland Citizens Alliance for Renewable Energy Solutions.
