Black woman, mother, lesbian, feminist - has long been in the forefront of contemporary Black acoustic performers redefining how Black folk do folk. Her most recent album ENDLESS GRACE relentlessly affirms the power and diversity of the human spirit. In its June 2022 debut month of release ENDLESS GRACE dominated the FAI Folk Radio Chart as the #1 Album with the #1, #3, and #14 songs. Sing Out! praises Deidre McCalla as “one of our generation’s most important singer-songwriters.” In July 2023 the National Women’s Music Festival (NWMF) presented Deidre McCalla with the Jane Schliessman Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women’s Music. In 2021 Deidre received a SERFA Award (Southeast Regional Folk Alliance) for distinguished service and exceptional contributions to folk music in the Southeast region of Folk Alliance International. Deidre McCalla's first Olivia Records album Don’t Doubt It is included in the LGBT Collection at the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History.
