Former pianist for Hank Ballard and Steve Freund, Wendy has also played with, Charlie Musselwhite, Otis Rush, Big Time Sarah and Jimmy Thackery. She tours national and international festivals and produces annual piano events including the long running Queens of Boogie Woogie. She is a founder of the San Francisco International Boogie Woogie Festival.
“All the cool kids already know DeWitt is one smoking boogie woogie piano/organ gal and it’s time for the word to spread beyond her regional awards.” ~ Chris Spector, Midwest Record.
“We want to reinforce our tremendous thanks for your brilliant show Friday evening at the Caspar Community Wave Up. The crowd was buzzing with excitement from your performance which was best exhibited by their continued presence and dancing.
You were terrific and looking forward to your return trip to the Coast.” ~ Tim Cuny
