The Derina Harvey Band

Derina Harvey leads the multi-award winning Derina Harvey Band (dHb). Winners of the 2024 East Coast Music Award for Fans' Choice Entertainer of the Year, this Celtic-rock group has a live show that leaves audiences hollering from their seats. Derina’s vibrant personality takes centre stage with her humour, engaging storytelling, and powerful vocals - a voice that earned her a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award (CFMA) nomination for “Contemporary Singer of the Year.” The band was also nominated for a 2025 CFMA in the “New/Emerging Artist of the Year” category. dHb concerts are suitable for all ages and can be adapted for any venue; whether it’s a captivating night of telling stories through song in a Performing Arts Center, or a dinner and dance in a community hall.

The band has toured both Canada and the USA. These engagements are the result of several very successful juried showcases at arts council conferences across Canada (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON) and the US, including Western Arts Alliance, South Arts Alliance, Ohio Arts Professional Network, ArtsMarket NC, and Arts Northwest, where the band was awarded Best Showcase in 2017. In October 2024, dHb made their second appearance at both Arts Northwest and Manitoba Showcase - a testament to an engaging live show from a band that presenters and audiences are eager to see more of.
