Debra Fotheringham is a seasoned singer-songwriter, guitarist, percussionist, writer, and poet whose voice has long been a quietly powerful force in the Utah music scene. Based in Salt Lake City, she’s spent over two decades crafting songs that balance soul-baring vulnerability with refined musicianship. 

With three studio albums already under her belt, Debra just released her fourth—Valley of Annihilation—her most ambitious and daring work to date. Available now on every streaming service.

She’s a recurring collaborator with electronic music luminary Kaskade, contributing to multiple albums including his Grammy-nominated Atmosphere. A founding member of the beloved roots/gospel collective The Lower Lights, Debra’s voice carries both the warmth of tradition and the spark of innovation. Her haunting vocal work has been featured on television networks like PBS, AMC, Hallmark, The CW, video games by Blizzard, and the 2025 motion picture Truth & Treason. 

Her poetry has been published in Headstuff, the CorkWords Anthology, and the Montpelier PoemCity Anthology. Her short fiction was featured in the literary journal, The Quarryman.
