She sings her own songs in concert, and is a sideperson to a wide range of acts from Tom Paxton to Ani di Franco both on stage or in recording sessions.

Darcie has just finished her first book, called "Twinkle Twinkle Fiddle Star, to be published this year.

Darcie Deaville is the real deal. Just ask Ray Wylie Hubbard, who she plays and tours with from time to time. Check with Jimmy LaFave and Ani di Franco. Tom Paxton and Slaid Cleaves can tell you too. So can the Austin Lounge Lizards, Tish Hinojosa and the The Meat Purveyors. And while you''re at it, let John McEuen weigh in on the subject.
Simply put, Darcie Deaville is a one person tour-de-force. Her straight forward playing has graced stages worldwide. Darcie blends years of experience with a youthful exuberance that leaves audiences searching for the jaw they dropped while watching and listening to her perform.
A Toronto native, Darcie has led a gypsy-like life, living all over North America. Each new place stirring in another ingredient into her potent musical gumbo, heavily spiced with large doses of fiery fiddling. And her guitar playing can fly through the fields of bluegrass and grease the blues in a way that makes it boil and smoke.
She''s equally at home with the mandolin, octave mandolin and other stringed instruments. Straight up, Darcie Deaville is a musical powerhouse. Whether playing, writing, teaching or lending her talent to any number of sessions, Darcie delivers every time.
But it doesn''t stop there. She''s also an accomplished actor, writer, producer and musical director. In August 2001, Darcie''s own one woman musical, Tornado In Slo Mo, debuted in her home base of Austin, TX at the Hyde Park Theatre . She''s worked off Broadway in New York City, too.
