Deana then launched her phenomenally successful “Memories Are Made Of This” international concert tour.
2008 found Deana at Capitol Studios, in Hollywood, California, working on her next album. In the fall of 2009, Deana released her newest CD “Volare” and opened on the Billboard Heat Seeker chart at #7, Billboard’s Top Jazz Albums chart at #22, and on iTunes Top 10 chart. Deana loved working at Capitol Studios where she collaborated on this project with legendary multi-Grammy Award-winning engineer Al Schmitt.

ED DeROSA - DIRECTOR OF MARKETING FOR CHURCHILL DOWNS
Are you ready and raring to go for the most exciting two minutes in sports? Two minutes may sound short, but don’t let it fool you—the Kentucky Derby has been held every year since 1875 making it the longest continuously held major sporting event in the United States. Last year 165,000 people attended the Derby and more than $187 million was wagered on-site and off, both record breaking numbers. Thanks to changes that have made the road to qualifying for the Derby easier to follow, and an increasing acceptance of online wagering, officials are expecting another record breaking year.
Horse racing expert and analyst Ed DeRosa from Churchill Downs, the home of the Derby, has been covering thoroughbred racing for 15 years and wants to get your listeners ready for the race.
On Thursday, May 2nd, Ed DeRosa, Director of Marketing for Brisnet.com, will be available to share his insights on this year’s Derby contenders including in-depth analysis of the trainers and jockeys.
