Deak Started Playing Harmonica at Age 12 When He Heard a Schoolmate
playing
blues on a harmonica.deak listened to British blues untill his brother
Bob told him
about a harp master named James Cotton . After years following Cotton
around for years , Cotton asked deak to drive for him on the east coast
tours...
February of 1992 Asbury park pressWriter Robert Santelli Reviewed a
showat the BerkeleyCarteret Hotel in Asbury Park,New Jersey where Deak
and Cotton were two of the Featured harp players. Santelli wrote "Deak
jumped into the Audience and ran down the main aisles at lease twice ,
playing his harmonica like a man possessed".
In 1993 Deak had a the good fortune and Opportunity to drive for the
James CottonBand from Chicago to Miami, Florida and back. Deak later
drove for the james cotton special acoustic trio featuring james cotton
,dave Maxwell and Luther Tucker; who was little walter’s guitar player
back in the 60s on the tour Deak learned directly from cotton; who
helped him with his tone on the harp and taught him how to be a band
leader "" Deak Also Drove James Cotton And his wife Jacklyn to Madison
Square Garden in NYC Deak was Standing in the isle in front of First Row
.... James Was invited to play with the Grateful Dead on sept 22 1994
""""""""" Now Deak is promoting the CD Gateway to the blues ....At all his
show’s. And Deak is also done some gigs with the Ledgend John Primer ... Deak
is also Promoting his newest show’s too ........Solo Acoustic ....Deak is
Stomping on a Wine Crate with one Foot and the other Foot is playing a
Snair Drum With a kick Drum With a Jazz Brush connected to it and Singing
and playing Harmonica .......It is such a full sound you wonder where all
that music is coming from ....and you look and it’s just one man
.........just like they did in the 30’s and 40’s .on the streets of Helena
Ark ....where all the guys would play in the streets and cut Heads
.......Come and see Deak Soon ..........Thx
Deak was mentioned by Aquarian writer Robert Makin in a late june 1993
issue as a "Smokin’ Harmonica player". Makin also honored Deak again in
a march 1994 article on the sixth Annual making waves Awards" as best
instrumentalist. Makin writes" it was actually a harp solo on the
self-titled and produced B.B. and the stringers CD that turned me on to
this guy ...SMOKIN

Kevin Gregory said… - Deak, I would love to see you play with Kilborn. We had them in Columbus earlier this and they were fantastic! I would like to say I'm going to try to make it, but it's very unlikely. I'm out in San Diego right now for a work conference and won't get back until later Friday. I'll probably be far to worn out to drive to Pitt. However, I would think that Val and Dusty Scott will be there, and I know the Webers and several of BSWPA officers (I judged their competition this year). I'll make sure they act as my proxies so they say hello for me. Tell them you know me and mention I'm President of the Columbus Blues Alliance. They'll treat you well.
Best of luck and hope you have a great show! Tell the PA gang I said hello and give my regards to the Kilborn crew as well! Thanks for dropping me a line and stay in touch.
Kevin

Ken Pustelnik said… - Hi Deak;
Just had a listen on your Myspace site , I love that style
of Blues harp.
We backed Little Walter when he toured the U.K. in
the early 60's and had the pleasure of watching James Cotton
at The Maryport Blues Festival a couple of years ago .
Kind regards
Ken Pustelnik
