We're Back in the Saddle Again! A Houston Update...

Hi there Music Friends & Fans, It's SO nice to be home! (Clicks heels together): There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like HOME! (sigh.) Just an update. We survived RECONSTRUCTION (well mostly...!), and we're back in our (mostly?...) completed house in Houston again, Post-Harvey. Yay!!  We're feeling thankful and very blessed to be home, can you tell? Even the dogs are happier-and so are the squirrels and birds who missed me feeding them (and our dogs chasing them?) every single day! Ha! Some News: Please continue to PRAY for Houston as we are still in the midst of re-building, and there are still many who are homeless, routed from homes, lost everything, jobless, or just generally down and out... I'm in a fantastic NEW BAND called the Six Alarm Band (well the band's been around awhile, but we've been doing a little re-grouping). We play hits from the 60's to 80's and some hopping oldies, and we're in the process of updating websites, etc. now. I'll fill you in on more details soon...but we DO have 2 upcoming Houston Area performances: Mo's Irish Pub N. (on Vintage Park),  June 15, 7-10pm  More info TBA http://mosirishpub.com/houston/ Mo's Irish Pub in Katy (on the Katy Frwy),  June 29  7-10pm  More info TBAhttp://mosirishpub.com/katy I also am in a great jazzy duo called DeDe & DC* and we just performed a fun cocktail party in West U this past weekend and we have a lot more coming soon... Lastly, I'm on the Board of, and I'm traveling to the International Music and Entertainment Awards in Ashland KY June 16, where I'm nominated in Categories 1 & 2 for "America United", and I appreciate all your VOTES very much! I hope if you're a musician you'll check out and join this very fine non-profit Indie Music organization and submit your music! Larry and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your thoughts, emails and prayers during this trying time. We are blessed to know you and have you as friends & supporters-we love each of our fans, friends and musician family so much! Wishing you God's every blessing, and I hope you're enjoying this gorgeous Springtime!

He has rhythm and bass on his keyboard and together we play some awesome and fun standards and oldies....

Thanks #Nashville Publicity for sending this out!

Singer-Songwriter DeDe Wedekind May Be the Music Industry’s Best Kept Not-So-Secret

Thursday, March 2, 2017 — Singer-songwriter DeDe Wedekind is everywhere. The independent singer-songwriter has been receiving a tremendous amount of attention for her patriotic single release, “America United” - a song that she hopes will help heal the division in our country following a volatile election season.

The success of “America United” has generated significant media coverage, with DeDe performing live on Cornerstone Television Network’s REAL LIFE!, TCT Television Network’s Celebrate Live, WREG-TV’s Live at 9, KATV's Good Morning Arkansas, WSMV-TV’s TODAY In Nashville, WEHT-TV’s Lifestyles, WATC-TV’s Magnify and more. She’s also been interviewed on some of the country’s top radio programs including WSM’s Nashville Today, Bill Martinez Live, For the People with Keith Alan, The Marybeth Conley Show, Kingdom News, The Larry Stevenson Show, The Long Version, UP Radio, The Justin Reed Show, The Ron Ponder Show, Mulberry Lane Radio Show and many others. 

In October 2016, DeDe took home her 3rd consecutive Album of the Year award at the IMEA Awards in Nashville, this time for her latest album Dream Of You. She was also named Indie Music Channel's "Best New Female Artist of the Year." Her recent single "Dream of You” has been receiving airplay throughout North American and Europe, climbing to #5 on the US DRT Chart and #7 on the Euro Indie Music Chart. And for those who find their music online, DeDe is currently a featured artist on Reverbnation and her single “Blame it on the Summertime” is sitting at #1 on Broadjam.

DeDe Wedekind’s music is available now on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music and wherever digital music is sold.

DeDe is also featured in the Out and About Section of the March 1, online CCM Magazine: http://www.ccmmagazine.com/media/out-about-march-1-2017/5/

November News!!

Hi there Friends and Fans!

Well another winter is upon us, and there is so much to be THANKFUL FOR!!! So here's my list of things I'm indeed thankful for (in no particular order)...

First of all, Larry and I just wrapped up a wonderfully fun & absolutely amazing Tour to Europe that included many fantastic stops in 6 countries!! and some Cruising, some performances, a lot of food, new friends, and some much needed R & R, combined with a bit of an Album Promo Tour. And, I also just found out the great news today that all of this hard work and PR is paying off: I'm now #7 on the Euro Indie Music Chart for my single "Dream of You"!!
                            -It takes just 2 seconds to please VOTE for me HERE ok?
I'm also in the TOP 200 of one of the Major Radio & Billboard reporting Charts, the US Digital Radio Tracking Chart! Yes, right behind Garth Brooks, which isn't too shabby-since I've always loved Garth and admire his music so much!!!

Secondly, I'm so thankful that I got to spend some quality time with a lot of my family I haven't seen for awhile, for Thanksgiving!  This includes my sister, Actress Missi Pyle from Los Angeles (and her 14 month old Adorable baby Zooey!), my Pianista & Musician extraordinaire sister from North Carolina- Julie, my little brother (and also Amazing Piano Maestro!) Gordon- from Austin, my Extraordinary brother Sam and his family, and my step kids David & Devon, and their Beautiful 6-week old baby, Mary Jane!  Also an update on my Daddy Frank: he now has advanced Altzheimers, but we were very blessed to spend Thanksgiving and yesterday with him and stepmom Lynn almost the whole afternoon, and he seemed happy, healthy, "with it" and seemed to know us! :)

DeDe & Niece Zooey

Thirdly, I'm incredibly thankful for my amazing husband Larry, who has been my rock, my inspiration, and my major supporter of me and my music "ministry" for 5+ years now! I'm so thankful for all of the blessings Larry has given me as I've pursued what I believe to be a God-given calling to write timeless, memorable and positive music. I write music for folks who may need to hear a word of encouragement, truth, love and hope, and may need to know that someone out there relates to how they're feeling and what they're going through- yes, me--and God that is!

I'm also extremely grateful to God my Heavenly Father, and Lord Jesus Christ for giving me this awesome (and yes I'll admit, sometimes scary!) gift and responsibility, for it isn't me who is the "author" of these songs.  I firmly believe they are sent to me from Heaven, and that I was called to share these songs with others to make LIFE BETTER for those who may need to hear them here on earth!

I'm also so happy to announce that I'm either a Semi-FINALIST, a FINALIST or WINNER for the following: 2016 UK Songwriting Contest, 2016 Dallas Songwriters Contest, The International Songwriting Contest, Music IN Radio Contest (and too many others to mention!) at this time, all by the Grace of God!

Lastly, I'm very thankful to YOU my Friends, Supporters, Stations playing my music, & MY Amazing FANS! For without you and your love, encouragement, purchases, kindness, comments, music plays, friendship, LIKES, FOLLOWS, SHARES and support, I would not be able to continue to write and produce music. You see this is a very hard business to be a positive light in a dark world right now. So I really appreciate your continued prayers, support and all you do to lift my days!

Upcoming EVENTS/Shows: NOW all are on my Website & Reverbnation.com/DeDeWedekind, but a few highlights are:
1. Filming a Holiday Special in Atlanta on WATC-TV, Christian TV, on Tues. Nov. 29th, show times TBA!
2. Dallas Songwriters Contest 2016 Finalists Show! Dec. 13, 2016 Times and location in Dallas TBA!
3. Holiday Show at the Rock Boquete, Panama Dec. 7th, 6-9pm, and other location/dates TBA!
3. ABC-TV Indiana on Dec. 14th!

Have a wonderful and blessed Holy-day season as we remember that Jesus Christ came into our world as a tiny baby to save us all, have a relationship with all of us His Children, and to give us light and eternal life, so grab this amazing gift if you haven't already!

My gift to you & your family: Get your Exclusive FREE MP3 Download-ONLY for MY FANS!  FREE! One Child by DeDe

Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know how you are and what your holiday plans are, etc, ok?

Hugs, Blessings, & Merry Christmas with Love,
DeDe (& Larry!) Wedekind :)

"Just like an adept sculptor...bring(s) new friends out of a mass of stone, Wedekind can cause new and amicable characters to emerge out of well-worn songs we take for granted. When it comes to song interpretation, Wedekind is without peer. A song when placed in her care...can bloom with a new life of its own." — Timothy Yap, Breathecast.com, Dec 7, 2013
